Hello @x4dr, vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed, unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan. BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan! in your log is a red herring. It's likely there's an issue with a Vulkan render path on your system, but that's non-fatal to the Steam client.
The lines after that hint that you're seeing an issue similar to #9588. Can you give that issue report a read and check if you're seeing the same issue?
I am having similar issues on ubuntu after the update.
First time i opened steam to launch Dota it gave me vulkan error... Since then ive gotten it to load some of the shaders but 9x/10 when i open steam it stops responding. Since the latest steam client.
launching with steam -vgui seems to work for launching steam and getting past the steam errors and dying.... but then theres still the problem with Vulkan.
It is definitely to do with the new steam patch
yup, the fixed i saw in other issues do not seem to help, by now i have a helper script that just keeps calling steam in a loop until it opens, which can take 2-3 minutes but it usually has opened after a while
Running from bash, the issue appears to start when Vulkan fails!
FROM steam runtime system information:

Contradicting information. Intel says it has no support. Vulkan says it has support. It might be because it is missing some key feature that Steam requires. In other words, Vulkan is supported, but it does not have enough features to make Steam work?

Intel drivers are installed correctly. (tried with these drivers and the default-OS). Vulkan does not work either.

Re-install everything with Debian-KDE. Installed with flatpak now. Does not work either, but has more verbose errors.
"D3D11-compatibility GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine."
It does have 11.2: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Intel+HD+4400&id=2643
