Stride 4.2.1.2485 Game Engine Brings Vulkan Compute Shader Support, Better Performance

([Linux Gaming] 84 Minutes Ago Stride 4.2.1.2485)


Stride 4.2.1.2485 is now available as the latest feature release for this open-source and cross-platform game engine written in C# while still having first-rate Linux support. Stride is formerly known as Xenko and offers realistic rendering and virtual reality (VR) support.

Yesterday's 4.2.1.2485 release brought compute shader support to its Vulkan back-end. This new code generates GLSL compute shaders with compute intrinsics. The updated Stride engine also brings major performance improvements around the UI performance by avoiding GPU stalls in batching and increasing engine performance by avoiding a slow memory copy path. In draw-call heavy scenes the CPU frame prep time can be reduced by around 40% with avoiding the slow memory copy path.

Stride also has introduced a new mesh read API and improved its Bepu Physics capabilities. Downloads and more details on this Stride open-source game engine update via [1]GitHub .

Only the fittest survive. The vanquished acknowledge their unworthiness by
placing a classified ad with the ritual phrase "must sell -- best offer,"
and thereafter dwell in infamy, relegated to discussing gas mileage and lawn
food. But if successful, you join the elite sodality that spends hours
unpurifying the dialect of the tribe with arcane talk of bits and bytes, RAMS
and ROMS, hard disks and baud rates. Are you obnoxious, obsessed? It's a
modest price to pay. For you have tapped into the same awesome primal power
that produces credit-card billing errors and lost plane reservations. Hail,
postindustrial warrior, subduer of Bounceoids, pride of the cosmos, keeper of
the silicone creed: Computo, ergo sum. The force is with you -- at 110 volts.
May your RAMS be fruitful and multiply.
