Mesa 25.2.8 and Mesa 25.3.1 released for open source Linux graphics drivers

After being delayed, both Mesa 25.2.8 and Mesa 25.3.1 have been released with an assortment of bug fixes for open source Linux graphics drivers.

The bug fixes noted for Mesa 25.2.8 are listed as:

• FurMark gets glitchi graphics when using Vulkan API on UHD 620 (mesa 25.2.6 and 26.0)
• tu: resource leak
• [ANV][LNL] - Detroit: Become Human (1222140) - Flickering horizontal artifacts across the screen
• Zink on Android: failed to create dri2 screen
• Amnesia: The Bunker (2023) OpenGL graphics glitch on Intel graphics
• meson: When building radeonsi without llvm, it fails without setting amd_with_llvm to false explicitly
• venus: synchronization tests sometimes get stuck in semaphore/fence wait
• GNOME freeze, Nautilus crash and purple flickering on Intel Arc B580 with Mesa 25.2.2 (openSUSE Tumbleweed)
• Texture matrix stack pops do not seem to always update the texture matrix
• [BMG] Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (1449560) - Crash
• Polaris, amdgpu: Application using VCE wedges GPU
• radv vulkan video encode does not process used_by_curr_pic_lt_flag correctly
• venus: random failures in dEQP.api.info.image_format_properties2.1d
• zink/radv: new cts fails on rdna3
• RADV Vulkan video encode isn’t available on 25.2.7

That is the last planned bug-fix release for the 25.2 series, with the developers suggesting you now upgrade to Mesa 25.3 to continue receiving support for issues.

And for Mesa 25.3.1 the bug fixes are:

• venus: synchronization tests sometimes get stuck in semaphore/fence wait
• [ANV][LNL] - Detroit: Become Human (1222140) - Flickering horizontal artifacts across the screen
• [ANV][LNL] - Eternal Strands (1491410) - Colorful graphical aberrations are present whenever a 3D asset is visible.
• [ANV][DG2/LNL] SolarBay extreme RT regression
• After 25.3 update some app windows became glitchy on uhd 620
• FurMark gets glitchi graphics when using Vulkan API on UHD 620 (mesa 25.2.6 and 26.0)
• tu: resource leak
• Regression: MSVC fails to build 32 bit binaries
• Zink on Android: failed to create dri2 screen
• Amnesia: The Bunker (2023) OpenGL graphics glitch on Intel graphics
• freedreno, tu: resource leak
• meson: When building radeonsi without llvm, it fails without setting amd_with_llvm to false explicitly
• loader.c:156:14: error: call to undeclared function ‘drmCommandWriteRead’
• radv: RB+ for depth-only is broken with unused color attachments
• win_bison random failure extern_stdin:40: ERROR: end of file in string
• Texture matrix stack pops do not seem to always update the texture matrix
• Polaris, amdgpu: Application using VCE wedges GPU
• radv vulkan video encode does not process used_by_curr_pic_lt_flag correctly
• [BMG] Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (1449560) - Crash
• venus: random failures in dEQP.api.info.image_format_properties2.1d

The next release with Mesa 25.3.2 is due out December 17th.
