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.

Here's what's in the new Stable version from the last Beta:
QuoteNew features:
- Added Czech and Turkish localization for Road To Gehenna.
- Added support for the latest ATI and NVidia cards.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Alienware LightFX keyboards would remain lit as if game was still running even after closing it.
- GI Solver will now run on D3D11 (used by Editor when baking level lighting).
- Improved stability and performance on Vulkan API.
- Fixed various small and rare visual artifacts.


And for the newest Beta version now live:
Quote- Improved stability and performance on Vulkan API.


Thanks for informing me of the new Beta fabry92!

Let us know in the comments how it performs for you now!

If you don't own it, you really should, I'm not usually a big pizzle fan but even I found it enjoyable! Lovely graphics too and one of the first games to use Vulkan so we should support Croteam for sure. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I got the black screen as well the first time I switched on Vulkan in game, I killed it restarted the game & it worked no problems, with a minimum 80fps.

The performance in the new Beta seems much better than the last one. I was getting about 20 more FPS on the benchmark than before.

Just done the benchmark for talos in 4k with my new gtx 1070 :

Opengl average of 70fps
Vulkan average of 150fps

Both in ultra settings

Awesome :-)

Quoting: GuestNo luck with the 367.35 nvidia drivers either, still impossible to switch to Vulkan. I also tried the beta.
I'm also in 367.35.I have a black screen after I apply for the Vulkan api but after I restart the game it worked for me.

Also black screen.
Tried with steam version of the game (updated), nvidia-367 driver and 1070 gtx
Restart didn't help.

Huh, does that mean you could get between 500 & 600FPS @ 1080p being 4x less the performance hit :O

I'm thinking what you're not usually is a big "puzzle" fan. Not "pizzle", although I'm willing to believe you're not a huge fan of those either. :D

Probably not 4 times better but should be a lot better. For a slow paced game like talos even 60-70fps is good enough :D I was impressed with vulkan in 4k with the gtx 1070. My last benchmark when I used my gtx 770 I had around 70fps in 4k.
