I’m pretty sure that error is normal and nothing to worry about. Your problem is more likely that you’re trying to run games a Haswell IGP…

the SteamAPI errors show that you're not using UMU the Haswell Vulkan errors means you're probably not going to be able to play your game they are separate please post the game log in full
