As of February 2018, radv has issues with the game and needs patches. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/s... for more info.
Wine gained Vulkan support with 3.4 release. Older wine-staging had Vulkan support, but it was not sufficient (missing extensions).
As of Wine 3.4, enabling Vulkan support requires some manual setup that is described in steps 2 to 4 on the original wine-vulkan README page.
If you are experiencing audio choppiness/stutter, try installing 64bit version of XAudio2_7 via winetricks:
WINEARCH=win64 winetricks xact

Similar to the current latest report, I also get the VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT error and the game does not start.
Is there something which is missing/that we are overlooking (especially since there is a golden rating by some user).

If I remember correctly, Wolfenstein 2 was 64 bit only. Maybe you installed wrong architecture or something similiar related so something is not working as expected?

so I got it working - I'll clarify:
1. The wine version in Fedora 27 works (right now it is 3.5); the one with PlayOnLinux doesn't (tested with 3.4 and 3.5).
2. In addition, there was a strange behaviour - when I first started the game, I only had a blank screen. The game was configured as windowed (game settings) but it was started by wine as fullscreen.
Once I switched to window mode (Alt + Enter I think), it was fine. Once I also updated the in-game setting to fullscreen, the issue went away.
I hope this helps.

adding the xaudio2_7 override fixes it
there is still some minor audio feedback (similar to coil whine) until the game sounds start (youll notice it in menus and first loading screen), it goes away once the game starts and the first audio plays.
