I wouldn't use vulkan for the editor for production atm as its still quite a bit unstable, but you can't set vulkan sm4/sm5 under Project Settings -> Platforms -> Linux.

*Edit* Compare against using the default OpenGL 4.3 in editor.

There is some stability and performance issues with Vulkan and the Editor on Linux, would still be more advisable to use OpenGL4 as the default in the editor but target and stage/build for Vulkan.

Glad I don't care about multiplayer with this game, but this is some bull shit, all the time its Linux and Mac multiplayer, no windows, thats what kills the chances in some games picking up on Mac and Linux, like with Arma3.

Substance designer 3 used to cost $560.00 new or $300.00 for a pre-existing upgrade. So a $19.00 to see if your any good with it and if its what you need and no real loss if not.

Yeah, they are PCIe 3.0 compliant slots, so its good, I didn't know 4.0 wasn't out yet.

The important question here is, do the boards have PCIe 4.0??? If its 3.0 it is barely forgivable, but if its still at 2.0 AMD is dead to me.
