- Players feel that strengthening the Vulkan port could boost up the game’s performance.
- Details of the performance improvement rates and timelines remain uncertain.
Expectations vs Reality
Many commenters, like kvpshka and KaNesDeath, expect some improvement but warn that a massive performance boost is unlikely, especially for older hardware.
Hardware Evolution & Its Impact
Contributors, such as Dense-Luck2846 and jnad32, assert that hardware evolution will naturally boost the overall game performance. Stating that the continual improvement and releases of new hardware will lead to smoother gameplay.
