Quoting: aluminumgriffinNice, however I really wish they would keep mesa somewhat up to date without forcing one into a FrankenDebian, maybe start with yet another "distro sub-section" (akin to non-free) that is "gaming" with the note that it is a slight sacrifice of stability for the sake of more bleeding edge (would also be a good place to put things like fresh OBS).

(mesa in Debian/Stable is at 18.3.6 , the iris drivers (matters if you uses intel iGPU) became good quite a bit after that (in the 19.x series) - to make it all that much funnier debian stable ships with libdrm 2.4.97 (to build the 19.x mesa and later you need at least libdrm 2.4.100)
In Debian/Testing it is mesa 20.1.8 and libdrm 2.4.102 so it is a night-and-day difference in terms of performance you get in stable and testing)).

You want unstable, possibly with Mesa packages from experimental if you're interested in in rc-releases.

Backporting Mesa to stable would be difficult. You would need backports for drm, llvm, and the kernel too.

Actually scratch that. I had no idea the kernel was already in backports. I guess backporting Mesa too wouldn't be too much work if somebody was interested in doing that.

Quoting: x_wingUnfortunately I think this Mesa patch won't fix the OpenGL issue. It's definitely forcing an ACO compiler fix (i.e. Vulkan), not to mention that this patch is probably the same as adding this config for radv driver in dri.rc:
 
<application name="art of rally" executable="artofrally.exe">
   <option name="radv_enable_mrt_output_nan_fixup" value="true" />
</application>

You're right

I haven't followed Mesa development that closely as of late, so I wrongly assumed the ACO compiler was used for OpenGL too.

Quoting: x_wingDoes this patch only fix the issue with Proton/DXVK?

Good question. I haven't actually tried the Mesa patch yet since it supposedly caused other glitches. But I assumed it would work in both cases?

For now I just set anti alias to "taa".

I'll wait for the full release and the possible engine upgrade to see if it needs a quirk in Mesa or not.

Penny-pincher sense is tingling - free game!

Kidding aside. I'll call it a winner. This particular mix of fun characters, horror interlaced with humor works well for me.

Also a genre that's new to me. Most of these games seems to be an excuse to ogle scantily clad manga ladies so my eyes sort of glazed over every time I heard "visual novel". Guess I've been overly prejudicial.

I swore I should lay off the Kickstarters, but this one was too hard to resist...

The demo mostly works with Proton. There's a missing news headline so the final puzzle can't be solved without cheating.

Quoting: whizsecompile Mesa from git and the game is rendering correctly now

Can you test if the lens flares are gone as well? Use different AA settings at night with bloom enabled.

Here's the bug report for the lens flare issue with a couple of patches to try out:
