I'm especially excited about that 6:10 monitor support. :P

Quoting: zebI have a GTX970 and experience severe FPS drops from time to time, going from a very comfortable ~50 fps to 12 and sometimes 1-2 fps! This coincides with the HDD light being constantly on, suggesting the game is busy loading data (my HDD is quite fast, this is not a problem).

How full is the HD? Is it heavily fragmented? This can also seriously affect HD performance. Even SSDs can have variable performance.

If it is an engine issue, then it is an interesting one. IIRC, the whole Batman Arkham Knight disaster was also related to problems in the streaming system. It is even more interesting if you realise that the problems appeared on PC and not consoles even though consoles have the slower hardware.

Watched the Vulkan talk last night and all of them basically confirmed that their engines are basically laid out as DX11 (or even DX9) engines. It will be a while before everything has changed.

The thing with Talos is more likely that it's a DX11 focused engine with OpenGL support added. And as tuubi says, performance suffers. But the Vulkan implementation clawed this loss back instantly, which is why Linux users were pretty pleased. It's improved a little since then, but I don't think they'll ever make this game an optimised Vulkan engine. That honour may happen for Serious Sam 4 or Talos 2 though.

Quoting: GuestFTL has stopped working on Linux recently too. Might want to give it at try and warn everyone if you can confirm that it isn't working for you either.

You can fix FTL yourself. You just need to manually upgrade the sound library it uses. I don't recall what it's called, but that should be easy to find.

Quoting: Jahimself@Arivandaar The denuvo wikipedia page may give you a hint on that question. (Seek platform)

Even if it's not officially supported, it's not impossible to do.

Quoting: MblackwellSo I was min/maxing 30-50fps in the benchmarks on High (and hovering around 50 in-game) and the only way to push past was to either set everything to low (and then fps was 45-70), or lower resolution.

Strangely after lowering resolution the game looked almost exactly the same except the UI was blurrier, so I lowered its scale and it's pretty difficult to tell now.

Thanks! Since you run an almost identical system, your results are very interesting to me.

From the comparison vid above, high and ultra look great, medium is a bit hit and miss and low is pretty dreadful.

So no plans to use DXMD as public beta test platform for the Vulkan tech? Much like Croteam is doing with The Talos Principle?

Quoting: drmoth

Mac beta editors do

Mac editors have Vulkan support? Doesn't sound right...

They can export Vulkan, not use it.

Quoting: baccilusCan I enjoy Dues Ex in spite of microtransactions? They are getting lots of negative feedback on steam because of microtransactions and DLCs.

Microtransactions should be ignored (just paid cheating). Supposedly the story isn't quite finished and will be finished by DLC, which would make it a money grab. Obviously I can't confirm whether that's true or whether that's bitterness by children who didn't get what the wanted. Also some say it is very short, while others say it is only short if you race through the missions as fast as you can.

My personal take: I'll be happy to give full price to Feral for the main game, but I'm not doing that for all DLC.
