New Demo for Testing Unreal Engine 4 in Linux Using Vulkan
After posting a video about Unreal Engine 4 working on Linux yesterday, I decided to bite the bullet and release a demo project. This is a really quick, slapdash attempt at a demo. It may not run on your PC. It might crash it, or make it spontaneously burst into flames or speak in tongues or something, so there is no warranty either expressed or implied. The demo only runs in Linux. You have two options for starting it. The first is is to locate the VulkanTest.sh file and run it without any switches. This should start the project using the OpenGL 4 renderer. This will give you a baseline of what performance looks like on using the OpenGL renderer on a reasonably complex project. The second option is what everyone is here for: using the engine with Vulkan. The key here is to run the same VulkanTest.sh file and add the "-vulkan" switch on the command line. If it works and the demo starts, you should be running the Vulkan renderer. I've tested the demo on the AMDV
