You have not stated your CPU.

Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 780/970 or AMD equivalent (Vulkan support required)

Re: Error 212 HELP ME!!!
According to NVIDIA this graphics card is not capable of running Vulkan, so unfortunately to fix this you are going to need to upgrade to a new graphics card.

That means your problem is different to the OP's and therefore requires a different solution, which is why we ask people not to make "me too" posts. Start a new thread and provide the information requested at the top of the forum. Without it the chances of us being able to help you are slim at best. The only advice I can offer in the meantime is to update your graphics drivers.

Re: Error 212 HELP ME!!! - Inadequate graphics card
I can't answer that without knowing what the problem is, and I don't know what the problem is until you make a post with the information requested at the top of the forum. Given that the 212 error means that your system isn't capable of running Vulkan (either because the hardware isn't adequate, or because the drivers don't support it) it's much more likely that it's something you will need to solve at your end, but without the requested information I can't advise you how to go about doing that.
