art of rally strips down the furious sport into a serene top-down experience

Just a quick warning; broken graphics on Mesa 20.1.8/radeonsi. No foliage, rocks or trees, spectators are just black unmoving blocks.

I think this is caused by the heavy use of compute shaders, which might be fixed by this:

Maybe someone using a current 20.2-rc can confirm? The demo should be enough to reproduce the bug:

Quoting: illwieckzWhat is the distro name and version you use so we may check it for our upcoming release?
I use Debian unstable, so I'm afraid I almost always run the latest versions.

Quoting: scaineI downloaded the torrent, got this:



No idea what to do. Nothing in the wiki either, that I could find. Why is the torrent different from the universal updater? Why are good guy open source game designers so poor at making their games easily accessible? Weird.

I'll try the actual download button. I tend to avoid them if there's a torrent, a I don't like placing load on a free game resource.
The .zip will have the same file structure.

You're supposed to run the game using "./daemon -pakpath /path/to/pkg/" but the game version that's available to download is from 2018 and suffer from bitrot. It seems to depend on an outdated libstdc++.

art of rally looks terrific in the latest trailer and it will be on GOG too

I think the camera position pretty much needs to be top down for you to see enough of the road and plan ahead. You are both driver and co-driver.

There are no co-driver instructions or even corner markers - because, by Casu's own admission, it's too much work when you consider localisation further down the line.
