The error message "The procedure entry point vkgetphysicaldevicefeatures2 could not be located" typically signifies a mismatch between an application (often a game like DOOM Eternal ) and your system's graphics drivers or Vulkan runtime. This specific function, vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, is part of the Vulkan 1.1 API and later; if your system is using an outdated driver that only supports Vulkan 1.0, it won't "know" where this "entry point" is.
