Quoting: AlveKattWow... Some of the commenters here actually say they deserved the backlash. Being a game dev must suck. Getting second thoughts about my dream to make my own game...

It certainly can.
And the abuse increases by orders of magnitude for (including but not limited to) each of the following that you are (I have witnessed all of these firsthand): a woman, a member of a nonwhite/nonanglo ethnic group, openly gay, openly transsexual, and not openly hostile to any/all of the aforementioned groups.

I agree with the posted quotes, and I'm not at all surprised by this outcome nor the reasons behind it.

Quoting: natis1If so then it would be their first Ubisoft game

We already had Grow Home, then we didn't get the sequel. :|

It's a Unity bug affecting multiple titles, hopefully it will be solved properly soon.

Quoting: natewardawgI think the initial focus is to get it to work and they'll worry about performance in subsequent releases.

The focus for the Vulkan renderer has certainly been "correctness first" so far. From that baseline, and as the engine is progressively reworked from being focused on previous-generation graphics APIs (OpenGL[ES], DX9/11) to also take more advantage of the benefits of modern ones (Vulkan, Metal, DX12+), we'll start to see more and more optimizations.

However, the easiest* wins for Vulkan and similar low-level APIs are actually in cpu-bound content - reducing rendering overhead, reducing/removing blocking for rendering-related operations, etc. - this might explain the differences in performance at different quality levels.

Quoting: pete910This shows in console when run

Player data archive not found at `/mnt/games/steamapps/common/Ballistic/BallisticOverkill_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem[pete@com1 Ballistic]

This is just a diagnostic message about an optional feature, not an error.

The resolution issue is being researched.

Quoting: natewardawgVulkan API wouldn't initialize due to a missing unity file

The message about the (optional) data.unity3d file is unrelated.
One likely cause is missing or too-old libvulkan (you'll need 1.0.21 or later).
Did you have any of the 5.6 beta vulkan builds running on your machine?

Quoting: buenaventuraUnity gives no access to tweaking for low end specs

It's there; it's just a matter of what the game developer chooses to expose.

Quoting: TheRiddickI still laugh at people with this concept that computers can't do 4k VR, its like listening to OLD people comment about tech...

Most computers sold today can't do VR at the current resolutions. Resolution increase is quadratic on CPU/GPU resources needed, and that literally goes double* for VR.

It's all well and good to release a headset that has a 4k display per eye, and even do tricks with upsampling/resampling, but when your hardware and software can only maintain 90 fps by rendering at "standard" resolution or less, there's not much real benefit.

[*] Some things do support "single pass" stereo rendering, which reduces the overhead in ideal cases.

The real question is whether it supports Polish-language voice commands.
