svn rev 27535 w/ 0ad-spirv version: 0.27.15

These errors should be fixed in the new version: 0.27.16.

Could you post the full message (with all missed defines)?

This is all that shows up in the logs - Happens e.g. for the Han Forge

Sidenote: Note sure if this is expected/ intended or not, but when using the dev overlay -> render debug mode, the game crashes with vulkan enabled

Yeah, that's intentional else the mod would be ~5 times bigger.

I need a full log to fix them.

Hello guys! Tell me how to enable Vukan? I put the archive here D:\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\mod

What to do next?

you need to get the current a27 pre-release. If you are on linux, you can find it on this link.

[Stan`]

Also wrong folder. It's better to install it via mod.io or by drag and dropping the file on the game.

Excuse my ignorance, what advantages do we have with Vulkan?

[Loki1950]

@borg-It's future proofing as Open GL is being dropped by most operating systems even blender is moving to Vulkan with version 4.0

Enjoy the Choice

It also improves performance for some users. Some have a much better experience, while others don't see much of a difference. Probably depends on your computer. For me it was smoother movements and about 15 more fps.

This is @leopard's video on the differences in performance: 

I should mention that "A26" in the video was actually the development version of a27 which included the spidermonkey update which was also a performance enhancement.

[sternstaub]

did a test a few days ago, latest git. Here are the bugs which i encountered:

 

On game start for a brief time, looks like this:

The first time i place a field blueprint, it looks like this for a brief time:

On the field blueprint, there are black artifacts. They are not visible on built fields however.

 

Another error - missing  model_water -, but the file seems to be in the spirv-mod: 

building a marvel causes this (black box only initially aswell):

On September 1, 2022, Mesh Shading for Vulkan was released. Is this relevant for the upcoming Vulkan 0 ad version?

It's irrelevant to 0 A.D. We don't use mesh shaders and don't plan to in the near future.

[MirceaKitsune]

I decided to try recompiling 0 A.D. from Git on my Linux / Manjaro box which thankfully still works fine. I can start the compiled version without issue on the old settings, but once I select the Vulkan backend from the menu and restart Pyrogenesis it crashes on startup. I attached my crashlog.txt which can hopefully be used to explain it:

Did you enable the 0ad-spirv mod you can get from mod.io? If you enable it prior to enabling that mod you'll get a crash.

Ooops, I missed that part, sorry! Now it's in fact working Only issue I'm noticing on my first try is a few seconds after loading some things appear black and I have low FPS, once all textures have loaded and it clears up everything seems to be working well. Happy I can confirm Linux / amdgpu is also working well with this!

[Stan`]

That's because you are using SVN which is doing the caching of assets on the fly (releases are precached)

[haisecoffee]

I just have a question.

I don't get where should i locate that zip file we must download

Thank you! (I just installed this game haha)

[Stan`]

You can get the link in the first post of this thread or through the mod downloader in settings.

Do note that it only works with the development version.
