Patch 1.0.6.4 – Vulkan Support

I’ve added Vulkan as an optional renderer in this update (DX12 is still default). While it may deliver slightly lower performance compared to DirectX 12 (on modern PCs the difference should be minimal), Vulkan offers much greater stability.

How to enable Vulkan:

• Go to your Steam Library.
• Find Shards of the Realm, then click Properties.
• Under the General tab, locate Launch Options.
• Add: -vulkan

To switch back to DirectX 12, simply remove the launch option.
