Wanted to ask, are those changes removed for CM 27.2? I saw that the building armor is also back to the vanilla values. Agree that the changes were good.

This was done in community mod version 27.1. It was about 2/3 the cost and 1/2 the build time. I think it was pretty good.

Yes. here is the list of Vulkan-related software that I have installed: ~/b/A27-1  sudo pacman -Q | grep "vulkan"  I lib32-vulkan-icd-loader 1.4.313.0-1 lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers 1:25.1.4-2 lib32-vulkan-radeon 1:25.1.4-2 lib32-vulkan-swrast 1:25.1.4-2 lib32-vulkan-validation-layers 1.4.313.0-1 vulkan-headers 1:1.4.313.0-1 vulkan-icd-loader 1.4.313.0-1.1 vulkan-mesa-layers 1:25.1.4-2 vulkan-radeon 1:25.1.4-2 vulkan-swrast 1:25.1.4-2 vulkan-tools 1.4.313.0-1.1  

I think palisades should be much cheaper and faster to build, but much weaker. I'm developing this in my mod.

Did you instal vulkan-icd-loader and vulkan-radeon?

I bought a new AMD GPU and I try to play 0ad on it. However, I run into errors when using the Vulkan renderer: ~/b/A27-1 $ binaries/system/pyrogenesis  I TIMER| InitVfs: 192.018 us FILES| Main log written to '/home/rena/.config/0ad/logs/mainlog.html' FILES| Interesting log written to '/home/rena/.config/0ad/logs/interestinglog.html' TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 2.94495 ms Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft WARNING: Failed to create a Vulkan window: Installed Vulkan doesn't implement the VK_KHR_surface extension ERROR: Unable to create device for Vulkan backend, switching to GL. I am of course using the A27.1 RC version which I built from source, on this environment. I suspect that I made a mistake while trying to install Vulkan on the system: trying to query vulkaninfo gave these: ~ $ vulkaninfo --summary  I ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : vkCreateInstance: Found no drivers! Cannot create Vulkan instance. This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan. ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools/vulkaninfo/./vulkaninfo.h:573:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER The basic GPU driver, vulkan-radeon and amdgpu are installed and activated. Radeontop does work correctly. Below are my grub kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub: loglevel=3 intel_iommu=on quiet radeon My question is: how can I set up vulkan driver for AMD GPUs on Arch so that I can run 0ad smoothly? What kernel parameters and config did the developers use? userreport_hwdetect.txt system_info.txt
