Has there been any tangible progress on Vulkan, HDR and multithreading testing that SQ42 has been doing, and is there any piecemeal multithreading solution for the PU? Will Orison's clouds be updated?asked by Kenge84

Hi,

S42 has been using Vulkan by default and it’s been going well, but has uncovered various stability issues that have been fixed. Our focus has been on polishing various major graphical features required for both projects, and we’re about to move onto a large and long overdue optimisation push.

Moving code between the projects, fully testing and stabilising it for public release can take many weeks, and often months if the feature set is large. This has been happening in parallel to the above polish and optimisation, but finding and fixing bugs is always unpredictable so I don’t want to get stuck giving predictions or frequent updates, but we’re hoping there will be news on this front before long (don’t ask me to define that! :stuck_out_tongue: ).
