Title: Wargame - European Escalation on Linux Works again on NVIDIA

This morning I was going through my Steam Linux games list and there was "Wargame - European Escalation". I bought the game years ago, I think it was before Steam was on Linux. It is from 2012. Never played it though.
But today I thought why not give it a try again. The game works fine expect this graphic problems made it unplayable. Flickering triangles all over the screen.
Checking the Steam forum, there was a long thread complaining about this. But it looks like the NVIDIA driver is responsible for the problem. I had the 361.x version, the one that was installed with Linux Mint 18. The game worked fine with 340.x, according to the forum posts. Updating the driver to a never Version solved the problem. Now I'm running 370.28 and I have the impression that it is a little bit faster on the desktop (firefox) then before. Not sure thats relay the case though.

I tried this game twice:
- the first time I had no graphical issues but I was using a low-end PC, so I didn't play much (can't remember if it was with AMD or Nvidia),
- the second time was not so long ago (1-2 months) on Nvidia and I had all these triangles and stuff coming from the sky eheheh, I think it was a 36x.x driver

EDIT: the errors are still there using AMDGPU + mesa 12.0.2
