New DLC: is the vulkan drivers problem fixed?

[Maximus]

...or is it still plagued by a dev team with severe brain damage?

I mean, switching from OpenGL (highly compatible with ANYTHING graphics-related) to Vulkan (basically unusable for laptop users) halfway through DLC releases is totally demented and a borderline-scam.

It is almost 2024. Almost every gpu released in the last decade and more is Vulkan compatible, dude. I know it is frustrating that the game doesn't work on ancient hardware, but let it rest. Haven't you upgraded yet? I am playing on an Intel UHD 750 (integrated gpu). It runs fine, it even runs Zephon demo fine, imagine that.... Many affordable laptops these days have much more graphics power than mine....

I would usually lash out for these kind of cheap assumptions but you know what? I wanna be the bigger man here. It's fine, you couldn't now.

I have an Hp Omen as laptop with a 7th gen i7core and a gtx1070 on it. Now I understand we are currently 3 generations away from what I have, but I wouldn't call it ancient hardware either. Now, the problem isn't really the hardware and it's not really about *me*. Plenty people out there with the same unsolvable issue and yet Slitherine is still simply ignoring it.

I don't ask you to show support for a fellow customer and wh40k fan but at least refrain from diverting the topic to the usual juvenile back and forth of hostile replies whilst providing 0 constructive feedback. I take your answer on the subject is "don't know, don't care".

Fine, move along.

Hey, Max, would you kindly explain to yourself why what you said is not exactly up to standards?

Thanks, mate!

How is it possible that a GTX1070 with up to date nvidia drivers (and not those from Windows update, Microsoft does not distribute Vulkan drivers, at least that is how it was for years until i stopped using Windows entirely) cannot run a Vulkan game? Have you tried downloading the latest nvidia driver from their site and installing it?

You pretty much failed at that when you launched your OP with "durr devs have brain damage, lululul"

There's every possibility that using childish insults *does*, in fact, make him feel like a big man.

Indeed. I can run this game on an 850m.

I remember that for almost 2 years my game was all black when playing, after asking here in the forums they told me the adpetus mechanicus dlcs, corrupted AA for AMD video cards and I should turn it off.
It took almost 2 YEARS to fix something the broke with a dlc!

I have GPU from 2013, just install fresh drivers, helped me as well.

Yeah, I always have the latest drivers. I have 0 issues with other games, including emulators using vulkan themselves. I figured emulators might come with their own package of drivers or some other thing? I don't know. I know I can still run games from 2023 with no problems but not this one. Which is quite bothering.

That's the insane part. WHY in the world would you gimp your own game, and quite a few customers, with such a stupid move. All Slitherin has done back then was asking for absurdly long game logs, providing the usual, useless "hAvE YoU tRiEd TuRnInG iT oFf AnD oN?" kind of reply and then disappearing. Classy.

Can't say I've installed whole new fresh drivers from point 0 lately, but every couple of months I clear all the various temporary caches and folders. Along with general pc maintenance. I might try that anyway since it's probably the last thing I can try. Cheers.

I can play the Zephon demo on my laptop.

Does this imply that Gladius runs as well?

Fairly sure yes.
