Description:
Selecting the Vulkan backend has no issues, but trying to launch a game with it gives the following errors and the game is nonfunctional:
Failed to create Vulkan instance
Fifo shutting down while active
Failed to initialize video backend!
This is a Dolphin issue because Vulkan works under The Talos Principle and DOTA 2.
Reproduce:
With AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 installed, launch a Dolphin title with Vulkan enabled
Dolphin versions tested:
5.0-1049
5.0-1107

This is likely an issue with the Vulkan runtime that ships with Ubuntu not supporting the xlib extension: see the forum thread here https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-issues-with-vulkan-on-linux-dev-build
You can use the runtime that ships with the SDK, or compile Dolphin to use xcb instead (which is probably something we should look at doing anyway, I just keep forgetting to double-check the implementation is correct).
