when that happens to me for a game, I try opening it on the file.exe and it can be the fix and then it starts working from steam. no idea why

i had to delete the vulkan files then delete all valheim sub directories and then a fresh install and restart of steam.

Yeah, I was going to say that sounds like you should verify the integrity of the game files, but probably the reinstall should do it. I haven't had that issue at all, but it sounds like a Steam issue rather than game-specific.
