I wrote that this already exists in the vr mod for Half-Life 2.

Not hard. You'll just have to throw out the toaster, and buy a fridge. It is the kind of issue where starting from scratch is pretty much the only option.

Garrysmod redone entire HL2's engine, almost from scratch. It'll be easier to create a new Gmod, based on HL2:VR, than making Gmod compatible with HL2:VR's quirks.

Btw I've found this:
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases

There is a possibility we can just transplant the vulkan support ontop of the game, instead of trying to make it native to the game itself.

That's what I was talking about. The VR mod for Half Life 2 uses the dxvk fork, which works with VR on Windows.

The problem with this fork is that it only supports 32-bit DirectX 9, while Garrys mod supports 64-bit DirectX 9.

I love it when people want the impossible, It makes zero sense

Before you write anything, read what is written above.

i think you can put "-vulkan" in the like special propertys or something

dropping dxvk binaries into win64 folder using 64bit beta lets it launch desktop on vulkan but ive had no luck starting vrmod

You need access to GMod's source code. This is not something you can install like addon.

I suggest you read what I wrote above. The only thing you need is the source code of the DXVK fork used in Half-Life 2 VR Mod.

Thats not true in the slightest. it just takes the dev who decides todo it to do it. 3rd party community vulkan support is nothing new for games. the mighty coder who decides to take that task on would have a long task ahead of them but you dont need source code for it.

It's possible, but probably pointless. Since gmod does not support Vulcan we would have to convert DirectX or OpenGL (if running on Linux) textures to Vulcan ones.

I must say OpenGL version has a better performance, too bad for Windows users that they can't experience it.

Maybe I will change my opinion later on, but for now I gonna be experimenting with OpenGL.
