Feral Interactive have released the required specifications for Dawn of War III on Linux
7 Jun 2017 at 6:42 pm UTC

Quoting: hiryuThe system requirements are definitely higher than Windows... I am going to assume those are the OpenGL requirements. With Vulkan, I'd still expect the requirements to be higher than Windows, but somewhat less higher as I don't expect this game to be super heavily optimized for Vulkan.
Feral's Vulkan works are not exactly native ports as i understand from recent Vulkan panel.

Only native and true Vulkan game is, id's Doom.

That can count as a win but a real winning will be the Sony PlayStation using Vulkan

Breaking Point, an Arma 3 mod is moving to Unreal Engine 4 with Kickstarter, Linux & Vulkan planned

Quoting: FaalagornThe funniest part is, if I'm reading it right, that they plan on support both Vulkan under Linux and DX12 under Windows. That's especially unusual, since most of the games are nowadays opting to one on another (I think the only one with actual implementation of both will be Ashes of Singularity, when Vulkan comes out).
Only possible reason for that:

They're probably aiming for a late Xbox One release , that is why they're using DirectX 12 since it is on Xbox One too.

Vulkan side needs a PlayStation using Vulkan as an API.

Quoting: GuestInteresting, at the 29:11 mark in the Feral Interactive presentation: GRID is going to be ported to Android on Vulkan, so maybe we'll see the same on Linux?
It was announced earlier , maybe we can see in the future. But priorities should be on Vulkanizing Hitman and Deus Ex: MD.

Tom Olson said that " Open GL 5 " was the name they decided at the beginning. I'm so glad that some people rejected that name by saying " Open GL has a mixed reputation"

Even on Windows sys reqs , there is no mention DirectX. Probably they've never touched DirectX for this game.

Driver , driver , driver.

That one fucking problem of manufacturers can't solve or they don't want to solve intentionally.

But i am really curious about, how id tech used Vulkan on Doom so professionally even it's early days?

Quoting: LeopardI wonder about something Liam.

Why you have that game in your library already?

As i can see from your profile , you are not dual booting with Windows too. I can't get it.
Probably from a gift at somepoint, forgot I even had it. Do people really feel the need to query why I own games? Strange.
You are one of the advocates of no Tux , no bucks policy. That why i asked
