Okay, I didn't expect them to push it that early... wow.

Ouch. Cruel, before the LAN party weekend :-(...

Oh btw... was it today that nvidia actually made their beta drivers public or did I just miss that one completely?

NVidia put up two vulkan samples (including code) as well...

And I had no time :-( .. damn birthday party. If I look at the recordings I think I'd have had good chances to be second-last :-).

I bet there are not more than 100 machines out there actually running SteamOS in BPM. Ye, I'm pesimist :-).

Funny, but I wouldn't have expected differently by Croteam ;-).. pretty known for answers like this. But if I am to make a guess they're working on Vulkan support for quite some time now. They've always been early adopters to graphics technology and I'd be wondering if it was different this time. I rather think they're one of the teams testing and pushing vulkan drivers of the graphics card vendors to the limits for testing purposes already. Crytek with Crysis and Croteam with the Serious engine always have been "real world" benchmarking tools :p. Crytek for a lot of shaders and blingbling, and Croteam for a lot of moving objects (which is probably the largest bottleneck OpenGL).

The game had pretty good ratings. Would love to take a look myself.

Oh cool. Even if it's a supported wine-wrapped version it's nice.

Well, I don't want to start with speculation about UE4 etc. having issues on Linux until it's released. Even if testers report differently here.

Unless the developer is open to share what the issues they exactly hit with their port, it all stays speculation. But my speculation goes into their custom shaders/effects either, since if it was UE4 native stuff, they'd have gone to Epic to have the issues fixed, and it would be in Epics interest to fix it up. Maybe they even did, and the roadmap is just too long for them to consider a port at the moment too... we won't know until the developer is open to talk about it.

Sad though, because the game looked amazing.

Ah ye, have to play that one again. I've played it only a bit, and in the beginning game balance was very bad. Have to check if they have fixed a few of the quirks.
