So this is lumberyard? what happened to lumberyard, discontinued? Also if this is lumberyard then its open-source crytek engine 3 or 4? Does it currently support DX12 and Vulkan?

GOverlay for editing MangoHud gets a new Steam Deck friendly UI
1 Dec 2021 at 12:43 am UTC

Quoting: benjamimgoisThanks guys ! The UI works fine on plasma but there're currently some problems with Gnome. It seems the new UI always relies on the light-theme version of the desktop, even if you are using the dark one. That breaks the interface... i'm working in a fix for 0.7.1 soon.
You know it appears to me the default Cube render to the right does not have overlay present unless it is enabled globally beforehand.. I suggest making sure it sets the environmental variables correctly on program launch.

I can get the MangoHud overlay to show if I select the controller icon down bottom right and select vkcube again but this shouldn't be needed to preview given you're already running it on the right!

WELL if they release GOG Galaxy 2 for Linux and Mac they might get some bonus points from the community... just a thought.

Capcom shows off official video of Devil May Cry 5 on the Steam Deck

Quoting: KohlyKohlFor native Linux to take off, the number of gamers on Linux needs to go up first.
Still waiting for the wave of EAC support to happen from devs like SCUM/DUST etc..

The Zink driver for OpenGL over Vulkan shows good performance on NVIDIA

OpenGL is still pretty useful for projects that don't need blistering fast API's. But if your making a next-gen game, yeah, OGL is dead in that respects!

Mesa 21.3 drivers out, plus NVIDIA 470.62.12 Vulkan Beta for Linux

Quoting: Avehicle7887Despite all that, the Ray Tracing option is grayed out and I'm at a loss what I could be missing.
You may have forgot about the below. With my 6800XT, it crashes the desktop, major failure.
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr or dxr11

I don't know why my system completely folds over with RT. Makes no sense.

Also in those screenshots, doesn't seem very noticeable.

Beyond All Reason is shaping up to be a truly massive RTS

Seems like they've achieve more then what Ashes of the Singularity can do (a buggy af game), and Planetary Annihilation.

At least with unit count and performance.

Mesa 21.3 drivers out, plus NVIDIA 470.62.12 Vulkan Beta for Linux

I tried to get RT working on CONTROL with my 6800XT but all it did was create a blackscreen and lock my desktop up among other things..

Kingdom Come: Deliverance gets shown off on the Steam Deck

Quoting: LeopardCry Engine Vulkan backend state is unknown; it is safe to assume both D3D12 and Vulkan backends in Cry Engine are not mature as D3D11.

Crytek released their Crysis Remastered versions with D3D11 also.
Crytek company announced a year or so back that their engine FULLY supports DX12 and Vulkan.. I don't know what the unknown part is. DX11 likely does not perform better, especially for this type of game which has way more entities then DX11 likes!
