Quoting: SaladienI wont preorder. Paradox has a track record of unfinished games. So after its release, hopefully this game will be as good as it seems and bug free :). Then i will buy it.

EU4 had quite a good release. I bought that on day one and didn't have a single problem with it.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroBut just to be sure you're not going to hell, you should delete your Windows partition just in case :D

I did that months ago. I had Windows 7 update get stuck in an unrecoverable loop, said, "Screw it!" and nuked the partition from orbit (it's the only way to be sure). Haven't missed it.

Great, another Paradox game that I'll play for dozens of hours and still feel like I've barely scratched the surface.

Quoting: Mountain ManNow we just need more games supporting Vulcan. :D

this Vulkan typo is annoying, please stop

Though seriously, why is it spelled with a 'k'? The word obviously derives from the Latin "Vulcanus" -- the Roman equivalent of Hephaestus; and in Latin the letter 'c' accounts almost exclusively for the 'k' sound.

I mean, if the 'k' were at the beginning, I would've suspected intervention by the KDE e.V.; but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I assume the word "Vulcan" is copyrighted by Paramount. But being a lifelong Star Trek fan, I habitually type "Vulcan" and have to consciously remember to type it as "Vulkan" in this context.

"It costs $39.95 to get what's essentially a starter-pack for the game..."

Well, that killed any interest I might have had.

Quoting: ziabiceWill they ever fix the Steam Runtime to run with open source graphics drivers?

Alternatively, will the open source drivers ever be fixed to run with Steam Runtime?

Quoting: KimyrielleBut the much more important question is...will it outperform DX12? Because if it doesn't devs will go "Why would we add a Vulkan render path for these 1% that use Linux?"

Performance isn't the only advantage of Vulkan or even the primary advantage. It's the fact that it can work on pretty much every platform that is capable of running games.

Nice to see Vulcan out-performing OpenGL.

On a related note, I had no idea that Steam overlay had such a huge impact on performance!

Reading their statement again, it sounds like they would allow it but they don't have a proper way to categorize it yet.
