• a screenshot of the popup the game displayed (which shows the error code)
• your dxdiag (this page explains how to retrieve it)
• state whether the issue is persistent for you (i.e. always happens when starting the game) or whether it's just occurring occasionally (or maybe for the first time)
• any additional information you might have which could hint towards the condition triggering this issue

Technical details

The issue is caused by a call to VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR() (which is part of the Vulkan API) returning an error code.
So far we seem to have reports about VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED_EXT (code: -1000011001) being returned in specific cases.
According to the documentation, this is not supposed to happen for end users and we are trying to determine atm, why some users seem to run into this.
