Open 3D Engine O3DE 25.10 Brings Build Improvements, Vulkan & Linux Fixes

([Linux Gaming] 4 Hours Ago Open 3D Engine)


It's been four years now since [1]the Open 3D Engine was born out of Amazon's Lumberyard project and hosted by the Linux Foundation. Today marks the release of the Open 3D Engine "O3DE" 25.10 release with the newest features and fixes for this cross-platform game/graphics engine.

The Open 3D Engine 25.10 release has re-engineered the installation process to provide more efficient building of this engine, an improved debug experience with lower memory use and faster build times, support for the C++20 programming language standard, and other build improvements.

With the build improvements, the installer packages for O3DE 25.10 are around 26% smaller on Microsoft Windows and around 40% smaller on Linux.

O3DE 25.10 also has a number of Linux-specific fixes, several Vulkan fixes, and some feature work like masked occlusion culling now working on Linux and re-enabling the OpenXR gem.

O3DE 25.10 can be downloaded from [2]GitHub . Release notes and more details on the O3DE 25.10 engine release via [3]o3de.org .

Insurance Company To Offer Microsoft Audit Protection Plans

LOUDON, TENNESSEE -- Companies, organizations, and government agencies all
across the world are facing a disaster of epic proportions: the impending
invasion of the Microsoft Intellectual Property Police. The counter this
menace, Loydds of Loudon, Tennessee, the prestigious insurance firm, has
started to offer "Audit Insurance" to protect against unexpected "random"
audits from everybody's favorite software monopoly.

"We've received numerous inquiries about this type of protection," company
co-founder Bob Loydds said. "Businessmen are no longer worried about
earthquakes, fires, or other natural disasters. The big fear of the 21st
Century comes from Redmond."

The insurance firm is currently in negotiations with Red Hat to form the
"Red Berets", an elite squad of Linux geeks trained to rapidly install
Linux and hide all traces of Windows on every computer within an
organization. During a Defcon 95 emergency, Loydds will airlift the
squadron and a crate of Linux CDs to any position in the country within
hours. The Red Berets will wipe away all vestiges of Microsoft software so
that when the auditors show up they won't have anything to audit.
