Quoting: LeonardKSomeone asked more specific what we are allowed and there were some restrictions on it. That's why I wasn't too specific about things (and they feared more negative news than positive, I guess ;-))


Agreed, It was for the original testing regards footage and what not, after the last patch it runs on par with boarderlands now, thats on AMD to boot. Must admit I've kept quiet about it. pity they didn't have a forum solely for those testing it .

So I agree with the census here, their excuse is BS, every other unreal powered game has not only run fine but well too!

I hope they learned from the original release regards their linux coding/port. It had it's problems when it first came out iirc. Does look good though.

 .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Is the only error it throws. Seem to remember another game used to do this but forgot which one.

I believe CIG changed the audio engine from Fmod to the Wwise engine.

Quoting: KristianIf the only advantage Vulkan has over DX12 is Linux support.

Nvidia hosted a Vulkan Developers Day which sounds awesome

Quoting: GuestCorporations do not have the public's interest at heart. This is why everyone should be concerned about having NVIDIA, AMD, etc on the board.

I have no problems with them been on board, what bothers me is the fact the president of the kronos group is working for one of them !

QuoteI do worry at times that Vulkan will end up in a similar situation to OpenGL with developers using special Nvidia extensions and performance stuff which Intel and AMD may not have

This!!!! and unfortunately they more and likely will.

Bet they make sure async compute aint used too much too

edit:

This too.

Quoting: minjThere is too much secrecy going on for my taste. Oh and delays, too many of those too
