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 .

NEW YORK -- Publishers from all across the country met this week at the
first annual Book Publishers Assocation of America (BPAA) meeting. Many of
the booths on the showroom floor were devoted to the single most important
issue facing the publishing industry: fighting copyright violations. From
"End Reader License Agreements" to age-decaying ink, the anti-copying
market has exploded into a multi-million dollar enterprise.

"How can authors and publishers hope to make ends meet when the country is
rapidly filling with evil libraries that distribute our products for free
to the general public?" asked the chairman of the BPAA during his keynote
address. "That blasted Andrew Carnegie is spending all kinds of his own
ill-gotten money to open libraries in cities nationwide. He calls it
charity. I call it anti-competitive business practices hoping to bankrupt
the entire publishing industry. We must fight these anti-profit,
pro-copying librarians and put an end to this scourge!"
