For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). Shader abstraction.

This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. We switched it back to disabled by default for all platforms. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.
