Where is Vulkan update?
You released this game for Android with Vulkan support ( in fact , only Vulkan ) but afaik it is still not come to pc ( Windows and Linux ).

Is there any time frame for this?

You need to realize what Vulkan is and look into these types of things before you start making posts about it.

What kind of an idiot you are , seriously?

Vulkan is a low level graphics api ( similar to D3D12 ) which supports , Windows 7 , 8.1 , 10 , Linux , Android and Nintendo Switch.

https://developer.nvidia.com/Vulkan

Read it and learn it before talk.
Also , look for the games using Vulkan. Doom 2016 , Wolfenstein and Rise of The Tomb Raider (Linux )are most notable ones.

Why?

I'm not asking you anything or that other ignorant user or that salad guy, i'm asking to devs and this is "Discussion" forum.

I think PurpleMan referenced to this part: "The Android platform includes an Android-specific implementation of the Vulkan API specification". And Android version is developed / migrated by another developer (War Drum Studio).
Personally I would not expect any Vulkan support for PC version of this game.

I didn't knew that port was outsourced. Vulkan implementations have no differences across platforms ( mostly , some little differences ) , it is not like OGL vs OGL ES. There is no subset , no other stripped down versions etc.

On Deecember 2016 , ARK devs said they will bring support for Metal and Vulkan.

Devs don't troll these waters. Just us. Now take your iPad back to Starbucks. People around these parts eat meat.

I don't have any Apple products besides my old Ipod.

Yay , i love meat too!:2017meatball:
