First time only? it's doing it almost all times i start the game, rare time don't. And it take a really long while. For example dying light only did it first time i ran it, and when it updated. But Deus ex is doing it almost 50% the times i start it. Is it normal?

Quoting: SketchStickMost games use Unity and Unreal, it should be a simple export and the Unity plugin is supported by Valve themselves.

Quoting: bubexelYes, they just have to rebuild the game with the vr libraries and vulkan. If it's build on unity or unreal, will be pretty easy. But unity with vulkan is just experimental. It will take a while.
As far as I'm aware the VR-Compositor is the only part that needs Vulkan for direct screen access, games can still use OpenGL to submit frames for the chaperone, distortion and display.

1. The lab is build with Unity.
2. Unity works with vulkan in a preview build of that editor.
3. The linux box with the label is for a conference about vulkan.

Is for that reasons that unity is pushing vulkan on their editor? was valve waiting for vulkan to release steamvr on linux? wow!! i need many answers :D
