Ok so RPCS3 works perfectly for me when I run game through it. No Vulkan issues at all.
However, if I launch a game through LaunchBox it gives me this error:

This only happens with LB. I did try the suggested install that it gives, but it changes nothing. Also, there is no vulkan.dll in the root folder for RPCS3 so that not the issue.
nVidia drivers have been updated many times with new updates. Including clean installs. No diffrence.

Also, why does it refer to steam controller on the first line?

That might be a virus interfering as I have a steam controller and lunchbox as well as RPCS3 and can launch it without any issue
 
Gotta be honest, I tried launchbox and I think it is just adding unnecessary steps. Profit from this event and ditch it.
 
2. Uninstall Windows Compatibility Pack
If your PC has integrated and dedicated graphics (like AMD Ryzen processors) and uses Vulkan, a specific Windows add-on is known to break emulators.
  • Open Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
  • Search for OpenCL™, OpenGL®, and Vulkan® Compatibility Pack.
  • Uninstall this app, as it notoriously causes Vulkan to crash when launching emulators through frontends like LaunchBox.
