QuoteHow's your play-through going?

Well, I'm already on my third character (a dragonborn monk), though none ever left Act 1 (the furthest I got was the underdark with the second character). 😅

Quoting: 14

Quoting: williamjcmA shame the current version of the game doesn't run on AMD GPUs on Linux (except Steam Deck, it seems) if you select the Vulkan renderer, no matter if you use AMDVLK or RADV drivers.

The D3D11 renderer does work, but vegetation has some nasty flickering.

I really hope it'll be fixed for the game's launch.

Yeah, the launch version had it fixed. I chose Vulkan and everything worked out of the box on launch day.

Yeah, I noticed it too.

I'll be honest, I'm glad Larian gave it some love, because we need more Vulkan games around. Shame it still has a D3D11 renderer, which shows games on custom engines aren't willing to fully ditch proprietary APIs yet.

Quoting: DebianUserMaybe it was not working before official release ?

Yes, it was completely borked in the last early access build.

I think this would make a decent compact keyboard for use with a Switch, especially for the people who love sending messages in Animal Crossing or those playing titles that are basically programming environments, but like others in this comment section, for use with a PC, I would definitely need a full 105-key keyboard.

Quoting: soulsourceHmm, I can't confirm without the game, but there are reports that look like Vulkan on AMD is working.

It might have worked at some point, but clearly not anymore.

Also, the first report I saw when I clicked that link you posted said the Vulkan renderer did crash their Steam Deck when trying to load the main menu, which was also my experience when I tried it yesterday on my own handheld, and the average RADV experience.

AMDVLK, the official Linux driver, crashes more "gracefully" (the game displays an error message instead of crashing the entire driver) during the Larian video before the main menu.
