Run A26 with Vulkan

[AInur]

I would like to run the A26 version with a Vulkan backend because it quadruples my framerate, but it is not implemented until the A27 engine. I have tried force the A27 engine to run A26 public as a mod, but the idea didn't work due to A26 javascript calling non-existent engine functions. 

Is it possible at all to make the engine backwards compatible? I can try to debug A26 but I would like to know whether I am going down a dead end. Thanks.

You've got two years worth of changes to backport. It's possible because it's open source, but I'm not sure it's the best use of your time. You could help getting A27 out of the door instead.

How can we help get A27 out the door? Or do we need to be tech savvy?

If you're on Windows, you can test the nightly build. You can also help translate the game :)
