How much would you be willing to pay to help fund a DX12/Vulcan Graphical upgrade?

But it supports night and weather, looks okay and isn't very taxing on hardware. No?

 

Yes,ok,but in the future,we will discuss the same again.

 

Without being fully into this then I think some of you confuse this DX11/12 & Vulkan thing.
As I understand it then porting a game from DX9 to DX11 do NOT (often) need a LOT of rewriting the code.
While porting from DX9 to DX12 or Vulkan ALLWAYS need a lot of rewriting code.
The reason is as I understand it that DX12 and Vulkan allow a lot of commands/informations to be executed much nearer to the HW (read G-card).
Thats at least the way MS and the group behind Vulkan does hype the advantages of their new APIs.

And because older games (like Raceroom) are not prepared to this "near" thing then it needs a lot of rewriting work.

 

Wrong , many games use this , or a tweaked version off the pmotor , even rf2 uses a tweaked version , so before you call some thing outdated do your research , our gmotor was split from the rf branch q good while ago but has tweaks and updates .... have a llok at pcars files you may be surprised to see gmotor in there

Andi

 

If you argue by this all sims are based on the gmotor engine. Madness/Rf2/Rf1/PC Cars1+2/AMS/AMS2 only Kunos have writen a own one for AC.The rest i dunno...
By the way - i hate Rfuktor2

 

Andy,
port it to whatever engine you want.It can only get better!

 

Ahh´m?
How about the most huge 24/7 MP sim existing?

 

You mean Iracing/ former Papyrus /Nascar 2003/GPL etc. ?
Yes a own one too.
I started with GPL + Nascar + a 3DFX Vooddoo Card,oh yeh,the old times...

 

The meaning is this:
The devs of NR2003 and later iRacing have never seen or been interrested in even 1 single line of code from ISI/gMotor.
The guys from Papyrus would probably have had a hard time NOT laughing if they had been offered it

EDIT: Added NOT to laughing. Otherwise the sentence is plain strange

 

I already run RaceRoom within a Vulkan layer and the difference is dramatic.

 

This same discussion has been had across multiple threads on this forum. That means the forum is more optimised for multi thread use than the game is!

We have seen that variations of the same physics engine are running in different DX, UE and Madness graphics environments to varying degrees of success - I´ll again ask whether ACC can be considered a well optimised game for modern PCs considering it will suck up all available processor and graphics card resources but with less FPS than RRE.

For me, the elephant in the room is whether RREeventually transitions or is replaced by another game and what happens to our VRP in that case.

 

RaceRoom is probably going to get to version 0.9.9 and then they are going to announce RaceRoom 2.

 

Thank you for showing this.
Pretty amazing
Is this the solution where you replace some dlls and vupty then the game just runs via Vulkan?
Because I saw the discussion in AMS2 and most people said there wasnt much or any difference changing the dlls.

 

You literally place a couple of files into the game's root directory. I believe I followed the steps in this video...

 

Thanks will try it tomorrow - and report back.
Hopefully it will also work in Win7

 

I doubt there's much left of gMotor in Madness engine. If I'm not mistaken, the first game on that engine was NFS Shift and it drives nothing like gMotor titles. And that was 12 years ago.

 

Sadly, Project Cars and Automobilista 2 both drive more like NFS Shift than the other gMotor games on the market.

 

I don’t agree. AMS2 has evolved much and it is a great racer.

 

Ian Bell recently stated that much of the pMotor 2.0 suspension models (created originally by the ingenious Terence Groening) were ported directly into the Madness Engine and remain such to this day. The suspension model also remains one of the strong points of R3E, whereas in some other sims that use different in-house suspension models the cars feel like driving hovercrafts.

 

I hope this thread doesn't derail into an argument over other games. All racing sims have their pros and cons and their audience.
