Solution

Uninstall AMDVLK, you should probably use vulkan-radeon anyway.

I think there was a wine / proton update earlier today, I've just tried to launch the game from Steam and gotten the aforementioned message. I've found out that the message is common on Nvidia and Intel Arc GPUs but not AMD. I was wondering if anyone is now experiencing the same thing and if anyone knows a fix, I was quite looking forward to sinking another day into Starfield tomorrow...

Thank you! I can confirm uninstalling amdvlk fixes the issue.

We are in a weird state it seems where some stuff requires amdvlk and some stuff requires that amdvlk not be installed.... Like the latest gamescope doesn't work for me when it's installed unless you explicitly set the AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV env var but raytracinginvulkan requires the amdvlk package since it's not as mature of a project and makes too many assumptions.
