Symptoms

Today the game received an experimental branch, they will switch from OpenGL to Vulkan. The OpenGL version runs like a dream, but the Vulkan version barely runs with 2-5 FPS. When the next big update is released for the game they will drop the OpenGL renderer completely.

Reproduction

Switch to the experimental branch and launch the game.

Same issue, here. Bad fps, and it seems like no settings affect performance. (I reset graphics options to default, around medium, where I was able to play on all high on the OpenGL renderer.)
