I compiled shadPS4 per the build guide (both SDL and Qt versions) and both don't work at all, seemingly for the same reason:

# SDL version

# Qt version
❯ shadps4
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Failed to load vulkan library!

System info:

OS: Linux 6.10.6 (NixOS)
Environment: Hyprland
CPU: Intel Core i7-12650H
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti (Driver version 560.31.02)
I also double checked that Vulkan is working.
