Can't start any game through steam

Hello, today i wanted to play some games an i choose ori and the will of the whisps.

Last time i played that game 2 months ago and it worked flawlessly through proton, but today that is not the case.

As i press play, the games apparently runs (but it does not), this window appears (https://imgur.com/a/Q4mdGyR) and then after some seconds it exits and i can press play again.

I got it running with wine but the performance is really bad especially compared to the proton version.

As i run steam through the terminal this( https://imgur.com/a/OyZyg18) caught my attention and i believe that vulkan is not configured correctly or at all?! for some reason.

I tried setting up vulkan, by following the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan) i downloaded again all the packages but when i execute this command ($ vulkaninfo) i get this output (ERROR at /build/vulkan-tools/src/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.226/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:674:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY)

I am kinda lost and in need of some quality game time, please help

GPU : gtx 970 (running on extra nvidia drivers)
