Performance Reporting? Does that mean profiling has been improved?
If so, that will be tremendous for debugging and optimizing unity games on Linux if so.

That's definitely something new. Seems like they are catching up and things are getting more stable.

Nice, hopefully in the 48 hours or so a bunch of games will get this update, such as Cities Skylines and hopefully improve their performances!
(That game in particular could really use this update..)

It would be nice to see stable Vulkan support in 5.5 and above. Hopefully in time for the final version of System Shock considering that game needs some performance improvements.

well I try, once again.. but these Unity versions always seems to take >100% cpu on my machine even when you are just sitting there in the editor and not particulary doing anything. I tried the usual nvidia tricks with vblanks and things but it's always the same.. and seems like I'm not the only one suffering.
anyways, there is always godot :)
