You've not actually stated exactly which Intel graphics hardware you have, so it's not clear whether it even meets the minimum requirements for the game. If it does, then this is most likely to be a problem with the graphics drivers, as the game is clearly not able to initialise Vulkan.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-U [Intel Graphics] (rev 04)

That still doesn't really help much, but it's clearly the CPU's on-board graphics which means it doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game. If that's all you have then you may not be able to play the game with that hardware.

Thanks for the help, I'm very sad.
