Some early The Talos Principle Vulkan benchmarks

Updated article. Just having the Steam Overlay on won't actually affect Vulkan until something is rendered with it (fps counter, notification pop ups). Still best to just turn it off.

We're seeing between 22-32FPS difference here depending on the resolution. Vulkan is performing better than OpenGL for it already (for my 980ti at least). That's really encouraging.

Don't know if you were writing that comment before seeing the updated article or not.

Hopefully sometime Valve will look into what's causing the Steam Overlay to bring down Vulkan performance.

Article updated, xpander noted to me in the IRC that Steam Overlay brings the performance down.

I have re-done some tests with Steam Overlay turned off. Page 2 hosts the Steam Overlay on benchmarks.

Quoting: FredOHow did the "red" team get so many tanks at the end of the 2nd game? What determines how much you can build during the battle?

How many points you capture, including how many ammo/fuel dumps you have. They kept us too busy with pushing to notice they were building up.

We have to do it around this time due to both myself and Feral being UK based, so we have to work on UK times I'm afraid.

Quoting: Guest"You can now expand your trucking simulators with community create mods in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator."

The game already had mod support, it just makes it more easier. :) SCS is a good company, they really care about their costumers.
Oh I aware, I was speaking directly about Workshop support which is what the article is about :)

Quoting: linuxgamerBTW: Was this update news really a linux theme?
It's a Linux game, and so updates to it affect us, so yes.

I often run editorials and such that don't directly affect a single Linux game, but wider issues, this is nothing new for GOL.
