OpenGL is a bit like Vulkan, but discontinued since… 2014, with a single update since then. It was actually stopped because Vulkan seemed better, and both API’s were maintained by the same organisation.
In general it’s more likely to work on older devices, but would be less performant than Vulkan.
DirectX is a Windows thing, so you’ll just have those calls translated to Vulkan under the hood (DXVK). You’ll probably get better performance from just setting it to Vulkan directly.
Edit: As some others say, for BG3 specifically, DXVK does a really good job. My personal experience is that “the best” option is very patch dependent. At launch Vulkan was best, then after a few patches did DXVK ran better, but personally I’m back to straight Vulkan, for no other reason than wanting to be a +1 in the statistics.
You’re making me wish Ballistix still made ram for the consumer market. Their sticks could often run much higher numbers than the “safe” xmp profile put on them.
Whilst Gimp is technically powerful, you can really tell it’s made by programmers. I cannot stand the UI and shortcut defaults, but maybe I’m damaged from having used Photoshop a couple times.
Is it’s C, you could use Cosmopolitan
It’s based off Tachoyami(or whatever the one that was recently near nuked was called), and can be found googling a little. It’s annoying, but they got sued, and this was their way of protecting themselves.
Depending on the hosting of things by the game, anti cheat can make sense. Payday 2, for example, is almost entirely peer to peer in games, and cheats allow you to be quite mean in game, even if you’re not the host.
But I can’t help but think PvE anti cheat is more about locking people out of skins/events/dlc/things than actually being to prevent cheating. Else you could just have a button that invalidated the gains of the cheated match.
I’ve heard that Linux’s task scheduler is just much better than windows’, so it kinda makes sense that all would beat Windows.
They also have a script patcher that makes it so you can use any font. A really useful feature if you replace fonts in programs or games, but the program doesn’t fall back to a safe font if a character isn’t supported.
