Vulkan API – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

Have this issue too with any mode on Ryzen 3700x and GTX 1070. I am running the game on Linux so that might add some problems.

 

Latest Vulkan api update on West Coast improved fps by about 60% on a 10980xe and 2070 super. Went from 80 fps average on the track with sbr4 to 140 fps average, with stutter being less noticeable, max settings with default dynamic reflection settings. When using 18 cars like an absolute maniac, previously vulkan would run at about 40 fps w/o Dynamic reflections, now runs at average 42-45 with dynamic reflections, and runs at around 48 to 56 fps without reflections. Previously, dx11 would run these cars at about half this speed at most.

 

HDR don't work in vulkan mode (when you enable it in the Windows config panel). it's strange because you can clearely see the right colors when you loose the focus on window of the game but as soon you recover it you loose the HDR colors.

 

The game appears frozen when i try to use the Vulkan API mode.

However, you can hear things going on In the background. things like the engine of the default vehicle and the ambient sounds

 

Just writing to confirm that BeamNG still doesn't work on integrated Intel GPU ( Core i5 10210U )
V 0.26
On Linux (screenshot, opensuse tumbleweed) and Windows (didn't screenshot but it said "Failed to initialize Vulkan: -6)

 

uh-

 

Run pretty good at like 20 fps with 80 ai and 25 parked car on west coast.

Had 1 crash in 30 minute except that scaling on all core with hwinfo64 is ways better than on dx11. All 20 thread are loaded 70% + and temp wise it close to r23 100% load

 

So much better !
With 20 AI traffic cars and motion blur + dynamic reflection on WCUSA in 0.26 :
+15~20 fps thanks to Vulkan

So 60-70 fps

I just wonder if there is a way to set Vulkan as default ?

 

Yep.

I've used the parameter below in BeamNG's launch options in Steam to launch directly to Vulkan. Just keep in mind that this will cause the game to launch directly and skip the launcher altogether.
-gfx vk

 

So I dont know if im the only one, but BeamNG performs better using DXVK than using native vulkan, am I doing something wrong?

How can ie automaticly starting with vulcan?

 

I'm starting to switch to Vulkan API.And I ran into a problem. All working good, but sometimes my computer go freeze. Hear sound game.An error appears after exiting the game. It would be desirable to solve the problem with the computer freeze during the game (help only restart computer) I7 2600 , RX 580 8gb , 12 ram

cant launch vulkan with safe mode

 

i cant spawn ai cars game start crash using vulkan api

. After trying to load into a map my pc freezes and I have to hard reset. worked fine with 0.26
6.0.12-arch1-1
Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB (525.60.11)
Using the native linux build

 

Well on 0.25 I was getting fantastic performance on native vulkan, but once 0.26 came out, vulkan performance went in the trash on my system.

It is strange though, it'd work perfect half the time I ran the game, the other half it'd be running < 20 fps. Also, sometimes it'd work perfect, then I'd switch maps and start getting the sub-20fps until restarting the game. On 0.27, it seems to be even worse, now it consistently runs sub-20 fps.

After seeing your comment, yesterday I tried DXVK instead and just like you, I get way better performance on DXVK vs. native Vulkan. Back to >100fps with DXVK instead of native Vulkan.

Lots of crazy corrupt textures and also eventual full black screen with game running in the background when I use Vulkan. Need to hard reset computer as getting back to Windows is impossible. Also very long loading times when using Vulkan. AWESOME performance however, >50% boost in frame rate but it never last due to the issues.

 

How I can use DXVK ? I only know how to use the vulkan mode.

 

He is just comparing using DirectX to Vulkan translation layer instead of native Vulkan. If you are on Windows, running native DirectX version is still the fastest way.
