Title: Divinity Original Sin + AMD RX470 works ?

Hi,

I'm going to buy an AMD RX470 for my PC Desktop on Linux and i would like to know if with this card and the open-source driver, the game works without problem. On my Debian, i use Kernel 4.8 and the latest version of Mesa (Mesa 13)

Actually, i have an Intel HD 530 and the game crash at start even with "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5COMPAT MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450" options.

Thanks,
Berillions

Yes it does work.
Follow this guide: http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=3282
Also, would be interesting to know if that helps with the intel issue as well.

In my experience, the game doesn't run using open source drivers, it crashes at startup. I tried with the latest Mesa (13.0rc2) and radeonsi.
According to this bug: [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93551](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93551) it will never run if the developers at Larian don't fix it...

With comments 26 and 27 in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93551 it should work just fine. It does run with patches in mesa, but those are hacks that will never be upstreamed. Pontostroy at gearsongallium is pretty much doing the same thing, but by intercepting the required functions in a new library. That way, you don't have to patch mesa each time you want to play divinity. http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=3282
Please try that. I have tested it and not only does that fix work with radeonsi, but also with amdgpu-pro drivers.
