Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
Half-Life: Alyx Workshop and Editor Tools - First Beta Released
This release includes the new Hammer editor.
The moment that many a mod maker and custom content creator have been waiting for is here. Half-Life: Alyx now has a beta release of Workshop content and Editor tools that anybody can make use of. This means that as of today, custom content built off of the Half-Life: Alyx version of Source can be created and shared with the world via the Steam Workshop.
Creators can make everything from a new VR physics sandbox, their own Rube...
Hello Games announced today the release date for their big "Beyond" update that was announced some months back for No Man's Sky. This update includes, among other things, the addition of VR support for the PC and PS4 versions and will be a combination of "three major update rolled into one larger free release." As stated, this big update arrives on August 14 for all platforms.
Nvidia just released the "official announce trailer" today for Quake II RTX, or Quake II with real-time ray tracing for those not in the know. There will be a free release to Windows and Linux users on June 6. Please note that this is not the same as the user created mod called "Q2VKPT."
But what exactly is Quake II RTX? It's the beloved classic FPS, Quake II, with modern, real-time ray tracing technology added to it. This...
Vulkan Support Added to No Man's Sky, Promises Better Performance
If there is one thing that is critical to a game having VR support, it's making sure that the base game can run well on capable hardware. A VR experience with poor performance and framerates isn't a VR experience that you want to have. Fallout 4 VR, I'm looking at you.
It's perhaps a good thing then that Hello Games just launched a new experimental branch update for No Man's Sky that adds Vulkan support to the game. The performance gains should be felt by most players, especially...
Valve Announces Vulkan for macOS and iOS with Dota 2 Support
Just a few short moments ago, Valve announced a Vulkan-compatible driver for macOS and iOS users. It's called MoltenVK. It's open-source and can be acquired free of charge from the MoltenVK Github page. As a result of this work, Valve announced today that Dota 2 will soon be updated to utilize Vulkan on macOS.
Having invested into its development for more than a year, we have sponsored The Brenwill Workshop to donate MoltenVK for inclusion in the Vulkan graphics ecosystem. We've also
Star Citizen Dropping DirectX 12 in Favor of Vulkan
A posting to the RSI forums states that Star Citizen will drop their planned support for DirectX 12 and will instead focus on Vulkan for their API. This should allow for more operating systems to play the game beyond just Windows 10.
Years ago we stated our intention to support DX12, but since the introduction of Vulkan which has the same feature set and performance advantages this seemed a much more logical rendering API to use as it doesn't force our users to upgrade to Windows
For those looking to perhaps see a few more frames per second (or FPS), you can now check out Doom running on the Vulkan API. Earlier today, support for Vulkan went live for the game.
When we were looking to adopt Vulkan for DOOM, the main question we asked ourselves was: “What’s the gamer benefit?” Ultimately the biggest benefit will be high framerates. There are a number of game-focused reasons super-high framerates matter, but primarily its movement and player feel. The game
For those looking to perhaps see a few more frames per second (or FPS), you can now check out Doom running on the Vulkan API. Earlier today, support...
Nvidia Releases Footage of Doom Running on Vulkan API
Nvidia released some new footage today of Doom on the PC running at up to 200fps via the Vulkan API. Of course, you probably won't really be able to tell that the framerate is hitting 200fps, but you can view the 1080p 60fps YouTube video below for a good idea of the performance. Alternatively, you can just look at the video directly through the Nvidia article. And yes, this is running on a GTX 1080 card.
Captured on a GeForce GTX TITAN X after the event, because id Software "accidentally
We first brought you news back in March 2015 of Vulkan, an upcoming 3D graphics API that Valve and Khronos were jointly working on. It was formerly known as "Next Generation OpenGL" and aimed to be a competitor and alternative to DirectX 12.
The Khronos™ Group, an open consortium of leading hardware and software companies, announces the immediate availability of the Vulkan™ 1.0 royalty-free, open standard API
Mantle, the little API that could is apparently winding down on the development side of things. This is according to AnandTech, who in their review of the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, says that there are no more improvements coming for Mantle.
AMD has reportedly "thrown all of their weight behind Vulkan and DirectX 12, telling developers that future games should use those APIs and not Mantle." Vulkan is essentially the rebirth of OpenGL and was actually initially called the "next generation ...
