Telemetry
New required events
- graphics_capabilities
- This is a new event that posts on startup, and informs us of the capabilities of the graphics device used to play the game
- Added new property: backend_name
- This will be Vulkan or OpenGL, and will help us understand which graphics api players are using
- Added new property: backend_failure_reason
- This will be a list of short error codes, for example vulkan_device_version_too_low, which will help us identify any issues with our targeted Vulkan requirements
- Added new property: backend_failure_message
- This will be a short and vague messages, such as Failed to find the GLFW platform surface extensions, which will help us narrow down issues if players are experiencing issues running with Vulkan
- Added new property: backend_failure_missing_capabilities
- This will be a list of missing capabilities from Vulkan, for example VULKAN_CORE_1_2, VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering, which will help us know which capabilities players would need in order to use Vulkan
