Quoting: melkemindWhen you run the Vulkan drivers, do they function well/normally with the desktop and other games, or do you have to switch back to other drivers when you're not testing Vulkan?

They're absolutely fine with everything else. (I'm using the 364.16 right now.)

Quoting: BoldosHmmmpfff - only a lack screen when I turn Vulkan on.....
Quite unfortunate :(

Try this as a startup option:

+gfx_strAPI "VLK"

I had the exact same issue; turns out it's due to the in-game menu. If you start in Vulkan mode, it runs in Vulkan mode.

I'm glad to see that I get the exact same performance that I got under OpenGL, with mostly high, some ultra, settings.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThis is a dev who proudly boasted about being connected via tube to a bottle so he could piss without leaving his desk.

Quoting: tuubiHe might very well be a self-satisfied twit and a drama queen, but the bottle of "piss" you're talking about was just a prop for an in-game video.

So THAT's what they were spoofing in this video...

What do they mean by 'user content'? Does the Rift have something equivalent to 'Tilt Brush' (which I find more interesting than any VR game, actually), such that people can create their own '3d artworks' and exhibit them somewhere public? Otherwise what VR 'content' are they talking about? User-edited levels for VR games?

That they're collecting information about this, though, is gloriously absurd:

physical movements and dimensions when you use a virtual reality headset

So suppose a VR version of Super Hexagon comes out, where you control the little triangle with your neck movements ---- and before you know it, next time you're on whatever ad-ridden website, you'll be confronted with ads for neck pain relief medication, special padded pillows, and the like.

Play a game where you need to move your hips to and fro (not that the Rift can capture that movement), and get ready to close some porn pop-ups next time you're web browsing.

'Shocker' indeed.

Some of these are pretty nice; but they aren't *bitmap* fonts, are they? They seem to be available only in vector formats.

I wonder whether nvidia has any intention of implementing fbdev.

Quoting: GuestAs long as Wayland is not crossplatform compatible I won't support it.

You mean support for BSD as well as Linux?

I have some idea through one of my uncles that long-haul truck driving is an extremely demanding job. I'm tempted to pick up one of the available simulations, but I'm pretty sure I lack the patience to play it properly, without turning it into GTA. :)
