Mesa 25.0.6 released with AMD GPU fixes for DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux

The open source Mesa 25.0.6 graphics drivers bug-fix release is out now, and thankfully this one comes with the updates needed to run DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux with Proton when you have an AMD GPU.

I recently reported about the issues with DOOM: The Dark Ages, and it's nice to see it solved so quickly and just ahead of the game being released properly in a few hours. There's also issues solved for Skin Deep, Psychonauts, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Hunt Showdown 1896, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Tomb Raider IV - VI Remastered and Dota 2 across different drivers.
