Re: Problem starting game
I'm not sure why you posted this in the Performance Troubleshooting thread, but I've split it out so that it can be seen. In a similar vein, please read the very first sticky thread at the top of the forum, marked "Please read this before posting!", and provide the information requested, without which there is very little chance of being able to help you.
The only things I can suggest without more information are:
1) Restart the Steam client. To do this you need to actually exit the client completely using the Steam->Exit menu option, and then restart it.
2) Check that your anti-virus software isn't preventing the game from starting.

3) Verify your Steam game installation for X4. If any files are downloaded then try again afterwards.

Solved problem with installing vulkan from this link https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
Another games used vulkan(overlay of afterburner shows it), and I didnt know that have to install it additionally, cuz have the latest version of AMD drivers.
It will be helpfull for someone, if info about additionally vulkan installation will be added to FAQ. There is only information about drivers version.
My english is not very well, I hope all I wrote is understandable)
Thanks for help anyway.

Re: Problem starting game
AMD driver suites would indeed include the then latest Vulkan version, but only if you let them install it by not selecting a custom install and deselecting Vulkan. Another scenario would be that the AMD Vulkan download was incomplete or corrupted somehow during the AMD driver download. Generally speaking, you should not have to install Vulkan separately after fully installing your graphics driver.
Currently, we don't know how up to date your AMD graphics driver really is/was.
