Quoting: LeopardThis is a service that developers are very well aware and can opt-in to use it.

I'm talking about Geforce Now, not about Steam cloud. Geforce Now relies on existing games. Stadia relies on games released there. What happens if something is bugged when played through Geforce Now? Nvidia won't go and fix those bugs for you, and neither will developers who didn't even release their games for it.

Quoting: LeopardThey both do the same thing

They do totally different things. One is a service where developers release their games. Another has nothing to do with developers, it's a VM renting service. If you don't see a difference, then you didn't pay attention.

Quoting: LeopardThey're both cloud gaming services.

Not really. Stadia is a cloud gaming service, Geforce Now is a VM renting service, where you can play the games you buy elsewhere. Totally different thing.

May be I mixed that up, but I remember something about them recommending Vulkan to address their shader mess with OpenGL that delayed Linux release.

Geforce Now is not a competitor to Stadia, it's not even comparable. Totally different business model.

Quoting: CatKillerI think it's worth remembering that the people selling Rocket League (Epic) said that the people who made Unreal Engine (Epic) had done such a terrible job at making a cross-platform game engine that they needed to give a full refund to all of their customers on two of the platforms they'd released on. That is quite a strong statement from them about their level of competence.

We need engines like Godot eventually push stuff like Unreal to the side. But that will take time.

Quoting: LeopardRelease time absolutely has nothing to do with engine version and Rockfish Games doesn't have that much resources work seperately on a VLK renderer or somehow adjusting the current offering.

They worked on it for first Everspace, and even recommend using it over OpenGL one.

Quoting: Guest....I just still don't see Epic giving a damn unless there's something really big (economically) in it for them.

Google paying them can be big (or just doing this work for Epic who should have done it all themselves). And Google only benefit from higher quality titles for Stadia.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Last I remember, Vulkan for native Linux UE4 games was in a horrible state, performs worse than OpenGL. The first Everspace performed admirably on Linux with OpenGL even on a low end machine.

I don't get why someone like Google can't help them fix that mess.

By the time they finish the game, there will be UE5 already.
