Vulkan Renderer missing on NVIDIA driver version 390.65 [Fix found]

I think this is a problem between RPCS 3 and Nvidia!
Not RPCS 3 and the USERs.

I don't have to do a patchwork for RPCS3!

I can wait for a new driver from Nvidia.

Ich muss kein Flickwerk für RPCS3 machen !

Worth nothing that this issue is present with Intel drivers as well, as you can see in my thread here:

Intel was notified about it, was even told about RPCS3 but said that their drivers work as intended and the issue was with RPCS3, not their drivers.

And they are correct to a degree.
The reason why Vulkan doesn't show up is because Nvidia and Intel stopped using the Registry to load it, and sadly, the RPCS3 relied on the Registry entry to grab the data on Vulkan on your PC.

As such, it is very unlikely that Nvidia will "patch" this because this is not a bug, it works as it was designed to work; it is RPCS3 that needs to load the drivers from a different source other then the Registry (running vulkaninfo.exe lists some options).

I will admit that I have no knowledge in how RPCS3 was built so I could be wrong, but based on the information I have, this is a plausible conclusion.
