If Unreal didn't fix their VLK renderer we might end up playing this on DXVK for getting good performance.

If anyone wants to try how bad is their VLK renderer , there is a demo of game Supraland on Steam. Simply run it natively first ( it is using VLK on Linux) and then go with Proton.

Quoting: GuestIndependently from this news just today I tried their Vulkan release on Proton, but the game just claimed at launch that my AMD video drivers are outdated and it refused to start at all... but I do use Mesa-git!
Well, maybe they should ask for their next Linux endeavors some experts :-)

It will probably work with AMDVLK , aka Stadia driver.

Quoting: LeopardDXVK was beating their native VLK renderer

How is that possible? DXVK only works for directx 10 and 11 games, not Vulkan games. Vulkan windows games run under wine do not use dxvk. And AFAIK Ashes of the Singularity is Vulkan only.

This game has d3d11 , d3d12 and Vulkan renderers at the same time. Since that game is heavily used for benchmarking purposes they were supporting all api's they can. You can easily see Ashes of Singularity on many benchmarks.

Quoting: LeopardDXVK was beating their native VLK renderer so i think that is not a surprise. And i think their future games with VLK will always be subpar. Since those are renderers that made up with Stadia in mind , not desktop consumers. So no need for optimization, Stadia can run it up anyway.

I don't think this is warranted. Actually, the opposite is true: the more optimization they can squeeze out of Stadia, the less resources needed, the more profit.

More optimization for Stadia...

I doubt they will do it given that Stadia literally have horsepower to run shittiest ports just fine. I bet AC Odyssey's VLK port was like that.

Let's say they will actually do optimizations. That will be clearly Vega 56 and AMDVLK driver specific. No need to test on another hardware and that is the actual point. On that update post Draginol hints this by saying

" The difference based on the video card set up is pretty drastic too (not blaming any video card drivers here but the variance is pretty huge and would result in some unhappy people)."

Isn't that obvious there will be never ever an intention to make it run on Linux desktop?

Quoting: chancho_zombieyeah I stopped using the beta because the library gets unresponsive, the issue is still there? when clicking the library the mouse cursor gets stuck at the pointy hand and I have to restart steam to get it working again.

Never happened to me. I'm on beta since day 1. But memory leak was also visible on my end.

Quoting: Termydoom still crashes for me on vulkan unfortunately :/

Overlay works for me fine on Vulkan with async compute on now.

Which is only active with either TSAA 8X or no AA modes.

Be sure you have Vulkan libs properly installed.

What do you mean by that?

Probably ; " C'mon Valve , release next Proton with that included asap "

That game has a Vulkan renderer but last time i checked it was in a very bad shape.

Quoting: dubigrasuDoes RPCS3 have save-states?
(last time I checked several issues prevented that, the save-states were too big in size, a lot of code needed to be changed for this to work, etc)

No , it doesnt. Like on a normal PS3 , you use save functionality of game itself.
