FYI: Fez finally got the Linux release on GOG after a huge wait (not long ago). It's also on sale now: https://www.gog.com/game/fez [External Link]

So, what's the ETA?

When are they going to add multi-GPU support?

Reminds me recent System Shock remake demo. Unity games are really getting much better these days.

Huh? So what did they mean by that then?

So far no response about the XFS bug.

Quoting: GuestUses a HLSL -> GLSL conversion, but I don't know the details. If they've got issues as a result of that conversion process though, they're going to have them with Vulkan as well.

Just depends what the actual problem actually is. More info needed.

Translation sounds far from ideal, I don't think anyone has a complete HLSL → GLSL or HLSL → SPIR-V translator so far. There is this effort, but it's only WIP:

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/issues/200 [External Link]

Anyway, why can't they develop shaders in a unified fashion, and just export them into HLSL, GLSL, SPIR-V or whatever? What exactly are they using for creating shaders to begin with?

Quoting: ShmerlUnreal now is almost ready with Vulkan support. Can they use that?

From the list of issues given, it wouldn't help any. In fact, I'd say it'd cause them more problems due to the additional complexity in getting it to work. If they're having shader issues with OpenGL, there's a good chance they'd need GLSL anyway (though maybe an experimental HLSL compiler is in there, I don't know) and so they'd be suffering the same problems.

Hoes does Unreal handle shaders for multiple platforms in general? Don't they need to provide API specific shaders either way, so they are already using GLSL I assume?

Just tried Tyranny, and was right away hit by the old and nasty large XFS partition bug. Apparently, developers still make this mistake even today. Why, just why do they still make 32-bit releases only (without taking care of such known bugs?).

Anyway, reported it here:

* http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/missing-gui.982181/#post-22092503 [External Link]
* https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/tyranny-fails-on-large-xfs-partition-linux-unity3d-5-3-5p3.440949/ [External Link]

While I can work around it, I'd rather wait for the proper fix.

If any Unity developers are reading this, please fix this mess in the engine build specs.
