The Talos Principle is currently one of the two Linux games to use Vulkan right now, so it's great to see them keep updating it.

Good news for Vulkan and AMD GPU fans, as David Airlie has put up a new blog post letting us know that The Talos Principle now renders correctly in this new open source AMD Vulkan driver.

A pretty good milestone has been achieved with the open source Vulkan driver for AMD that Dave Airlie has been working on with Bas Nieuwenhuizen. It can now run Dota 2.

Croteam have continued developing their Vulkan backend for The Talos Principle and have pushed the last beta to stable and released another beta with more Vulkan work.

AMD have released a nice video talking about Vulkan (and DirectX 12), it's also nice to hear Linux & SteamOS mentioned.

Croteam, who were the first game developer to put out a game with Vulkan (Talos Principle) have now put up their slides to their Vulkan talk.

Croteam are beating The Talos Principle with a hammer to bring out another stable version and a beta, both have even more Vulkan goodies.

Quite recently there have been quite a few advancements on the open source side of GPU drivers so I figured it would be the perfect time to talk about these changes and run some updated benchmarks.

Croteam sure are busy, not only did they confirm The Talos Principle 2 is happening, but it seems I missed the fact that Serious Sam 4 was also confirmed to be in development right now.

While I haven't completed The Talos Principle, I have played it and I do think it's a very well presented puzzle game. It seems it has been a hit, so The Talos Principle 2 has now been confirmed.

Welcome to another episode of the GOL Podcast! Kallestofeles was not able to join on this recording so this episode Cheese, Kieron (madmachinations), and Matt (darkone778) talk about their experience playing Left 4 Dead 2. We also discuss the Linux gaming news from game releases to people showing their gaming rigs.

The newest game from the developer of English Country Tune is now out. After a few days of playing and rolling dozens of sausages, I’ve got a few thoughts to share about this game and its puzzles.

Humble have done a good one this time! The Humble Devolver Bundle has some pretty decent Linux games going for cheap.

Valve just recently published a new Steam beta, and they have fixed up the Steam Overlay rendering issue that was causing it to bring down Vulkan performance. I've run some fresh tests on my Nvidia 980ti to show you the difference now with it on vs before.

Well, not long after someone reported the issue to Valve from my benchmarks, the performance penalty of using Vulkan with the Steam Overlay seems to be mostly fixed.

I decided to take a look at this Vulkan nonsense with The Talos Principle, since I hadn't actually tried it yet myself. Here are some benchmarks done on my 980ti. I will look to do some on my 970 if people want to see them too.

The Talos Principle developers have just released build 260210, the main feature for us is the improvements to their Vulkan rendering system. Also, the stable version now includes Vulkan as standard.

Valve have pushed out SteamOS 2.67 beta with some minor but useful changes to the compositor, pulseaudio and boot-up. It also fixes as an issue with The Talos Principle.

Looks like Vulkan support is coming to a Wine development version near you soon, as the latest Wine Staging 1.9.6 build has a conforment Vulkan implementation. It also disables CSMT as it's becoming incompatible.
