The UNIGINE engine will get Vulkan support this year
13 Apr 2017 at 9:32 pm UTC

Quoting: pete910Going on the results I've seen it makes little difference on CPU.

If you look at the bench thread you have a 980ti with a AMD8320e beating the same card with a intel 5960, Rather a large difference don't you think.
Pretty sure a 5960 in vastly superior to a 8320e :P
There's a pretty big range in the 970's though.

Then again, I have a feeling that the benchmark is not entirely reliable. I started again today, got a 20% lower score. Repeated it a few times and got about the same. Then restarted the benchmark again and got the 20% higher value back.

From the results thread it is obvious that even at low fps, the results are still very dependent on the CPU. This suggests that a decent gain should be possible with Vulkan.

It's out! It looks like you can really terrorize you GPU with this one.

Quoting: BeamboomThat trailer looks nothing like the videos on Steam, with a real 3D world?
It says "multiplayer trailer". Probably not the best one to dhow off the game.

Quoting: AimHere... and the two branches seem to be very much tied to the Windows version if you investigate steamdb further

Windows depots are always available in the Feral branches. Probably something in the way Steam works. Still, it looks like work on some DLCs to me.

Feral has never put a platform icon on the radar for something that was already released. So if Shogun 2 is coming, it's not on the radar yet.

Looking at my library, I'd say welcome silence before the storm! ^_^

An interview with Beamdog about Linux gaming, they say it’s worth it

We’ve found that porting to Linux makes the game more stable and perform better on Windows too.
Very true. I found that it works the other way around as well.

Looking forward to Planescape.

Quoting: ellie_feralThis is fun.
Isn't that why the whole Feral radar exists? :P

Quoting: Geppeto35For me, it's Shadow warrior (2 I hope!): Wade Ferris + green tea logo + Shadow warrior team announced that some company will port their game sooner.
It'd be quite a change from the regular publishers/developers that Feral has ported for.
