I basically bolted over to my steam library to go see if MDK 2 was finally fixed after reading this, that was one of THE games I actually felt like I gave up going to linux.
The good news is: Yes, they did fix the black texturing issues in MDK 2 HD! Yay!
The bad news is: Everything regarding cutscenes continuing is broken, like everything renders correctly (except the HUD) but the dialogue doesn't continue and menu music plays where it shouldn't. Don't know if this is an issue with the game or an issue with proton, but either way MDK 2 HD is still unplayable.
Also, MDK 2 Classic has not benefitted from the Mesa patches as far as I'm aware, as it still starts up with a black screen.
One day... One day it will work. We're at least closer.
