I hope we can say goodbye to DX9 and get some more frames. Anything that starts with "SB Pro..." and ends on "version 4.x" will still be based on DirectX 9. Version 5 will change that, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 12, 2022 Members Share Posted June 12, 2022 No. Same engine. If you could run 4.0 you can run 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Ssnake said: Yes. This is good news. Any change to thermal signature? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 12, 2022 Members Share Posted June 12, 2022 That's a tricky issue. The question is, do we think of "recently destroyed" vehicles (no change to the thermal signature should happen), or do we have old wrecks in mind (ambient temperature, more or less). Depending on which side you're on your answer will change ("why not both?", yes, yes...) Primary design goal was a change of the visual signature (check). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 5 will change that, of course. With that being said, with the short time I had I gave this little utility a go on Steel Beasts a go for a little while to see if it would run, and it does! https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk DX9 to Vulkan. I haven't tested it completely, to see if there are any discrepancies or crashes, but it seemed to be ok! I need to confirm if there were any fps gains. But I did notice that now I can use reshade with it(I couldn't before, SB would crash and refuse to run on the resolution I wanted) . EDIT: Quick tests with the benchmark scenario. Vulkan: Rarely dipped below 60 FPS, mostly stayed at 65 FPS. Only dipped sub 30 FPS( At 27 and thereabouts) when inside the heavy smoke, and artillery area. Outside of that, 45 and 55 only when it was switching or unstable frames, which means, less than a second. DX9(Default): Below 30 from the moment I opened into the M60. It hovers around 25 to 30 FPS, rarely over 33 FPS. Inside the artillery and smoke part, it reached 10 to 15 FPS(and danced around those numbers). This replacement DX9 to Vulkan really made the frames go high! I will be making a thread about this later when I have more time. EDIT2: Thread made, with instructions on how to install it: Edited June 15, 2022 by drcancerman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottel Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The new UI in "full BN salvo" video looks good, is this only in droneview, or a new general approach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 After a big move and finally putting together my new computer system, I'm finally getting back in the Steel Beasts game again. I go to the eSims website to download the latest installer and wow, I discover 4.3 videos. Looking forward to it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 15, 2022 Members Share Posted June 15, 2022 I'm going to show it in more detail later. In a future update it's going to be playable, but the info came too late for implementation so short before a release. It'll be useful for 1970s scenarios.
