Question / Help Vulkan Support for Game Capture

[Aelfric]

Valve recently released their Dota 2 Vulkan support. You can basically download it as dlc from steam for free and open the game in Vulkan for better performance. My question is as follows?

How much of a priority for Jim and others to implement a Vulkan hook for game capture? What are your overall plans? Thank you.

I think it will take longer. We have other problems right now, like the DX12 games (there are more of them, so i would say thats higher priority compared to Vulkan) that dont allow game or window capture at all.

Most people would stick with the monitor capture option and it will work, its just not the best way.

I think you should atleast be able to window capture DX12 games, as long as they aren't Windows Store games.

I´m talking about the UWP games like Forza Apex, we have some problems with that and it doesnt look like we get a working game hook tomorrow (but we should, there are more games coming and this will not go away^^)..

That will come eventually, just something Jim has to look in to. Because it is possible but so far only dxtory has implemented it. Not sure if dxtory also supports dx12

It does, since UWP games are DX12 only. Gears of war and Forza at least, i dont know if any UWP game will have a DX11 or a Vulkan path included, doesnt look like it. I have Forza here, it runs great but has to be captured via monitor capture, no workaround so far.

I've been using Linux with Dota on Vulkan since release but this week i had to capture it on Windows and it still is not suported. I hope it might come soon since Dx12 capture is supported since latest release!

How do I do that? I see no such option. Using v0.16.6 of OBS.
