Quoting: GuestEvery time there's something from Stardock about this, it seems like they're worried about something with Vulkan drivers, however have never really said what. RADV is open source; the community is considered the driver maker. Sure, the main developers might have corporate funding, but their work isn't hidden away, and I'm sure if Stardock were working with the community on this, we'd have heard about it. So to me the post doesn't make much sense. I'm still very curious about what the issue actually is.

Quoting: Fakeman_PretendnameNot sure if there's been a small update since or there's a difference between GOG/Steam/Paradox Launcher, but I've had it running fine for an hour, on Nvidia, on Ubuntu 18.04. It's the version from Steam (though bought from Paradox and activated on Steam).

It loaded exactly as expected i.e. launcher launched and game ran fine.

Propriety Nvidia 418.56 (The Vulkan one), from a Geforce 960M. Constant 30fps (which is about what I expect off this laptop/graphics card). I left all the settings on default, so it's a straight "load it and run it" with no tweaks etc.

I've been playing through the tutorial for about an hour so far, all seems to be running perfectly :)

Hope it's because of an update and it works for you guys too, rather than me just being lucky!

You're the first NVIDIA user to say it works, is this on the proprietary driver or the open source driver?

I'm running the 396 driver on KDE Neon 18.04.

Quoting: GuestIf you're referring to me, I said Minecraft Java is stagnating feature-wise while Minecraft for Windows 10 was having features added to it. That is to be expected given how Microsoft embraces, extends, and extinguishes.

Quoting: natis1"Some performance improvements" is not a true statement. I just updated a server from 1.12 to 1.14. Both running on vanilla. And I can confidently say that 1.14 not only requires much more CPU, but it does nothing to improve RAM usage vs 1.12.

418.52.05 is Vulkan beta
p.s. Is this 430.09 beta?
