Hey Linuxers! 👋
This is a very special release. After many community requests, vkBasalt is finally back — and this time, it’s in much better shape than before!
We’re also excited to introduce something brand new: the integrated OpenGL demo cube (formerly known as govercube) now has its own dedicated project — pasCube.
pasCube will replace vkcube and makes its first appearance in version 1.5.0 as a beta feature, and its releases will stay in sync with GOverlay from now on.
Since pasCube is OpenGL-based, GOverlay automatically launches it using the ZINK driver, allowing you to apply vkBasalt post-processing effects directly on top of it — perfect for testing overlays, shaders, and visual configurations.
Here’s what’s new in this release 👇
- 🧩 Reintroduced vkBasalt integration with improved handling
- 🎲 Added pasCube (OpenGL demo cube) integration
- ⚙️ Automatic ZINK enforcement when launching OpenGL demos
- 🧱 Various UI and stability improvements
- 🪄 Minor fixes and internal refactors
Special thanks to @yochananmarqos for all the help with pascube and goverlay PKBUILDs.
Hope you all enjoy this release — and as always, thanks for your support and feedback! ❤️
