Symptoms

When launching the game, it immediately crashes with the following message: "Failed to execute Vulkan command 'result' (file 'D:\BuildAgents\buildAgent_pc\work\git_checkout_per_agent_branch\FledgeRenderer\renderer\src\vulkan\FledgeRendererSystemVulkan.cpp' in line '353'), returned: VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER' "
This is what it looks like:

It presents this in a window with three options: Abort, Retry, and Ignore. Abort will just close the window and stop the game from running. Retry and Ignore both do the same thing. The game will technically be running, seeing as I can see the .exe running in top, but it doesn't actually launch into a playable or viewable state (just a process running in the background). After a minute or two, that process ends and the game quits. Above, the first log is from an abort, and the second is from an Ignore.

Reproduction

Launch the game.

Start by reproducing the launch failure with Proton 4.11.11 on the reported AMD RX 5700, Mesa 19.3.1, and kernel 5.4 setup. Inspect the attached steam-644830.log and steam-644830-ignore.log around the VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER message; done means the game launches into a playable state in the reported environment.
