It's a delay, not a cancel. So I'm not really disappoionted. It's a game I'm planning to get, hopefully it will run on Mesa AMDGPU driver.

Yey! Keith is a great developer. What ever his duties will be, it's a great thing that he'll be able to work full time on it. Great from Valve to get such an experienced developer on board.

Commits will show what he'll be up to.

All the best at Valve, Keith!

When I read "loaderMagic" I had to think on "shit, we don't know what we're doing there anymore, let's call it magic" :D.

Ah, was wondering the same as Samsai. I'm running the same mesa/lvvm versions and didn't notice any larger issue.

Optimus. Got that shit at work. Never ever going to buy a Laptop with Optimus.

My issue is - 3 Monitors. On Windows you can have pass through, and all 3 displays connected. Linux? Not so much, at least I didn't succeed.

They fixed a lot with mesa 17, and they seem to be on a good path with 17.1 too. Mesa is really progressing a lot lately.

I'm quite happy I gave AMD a shot with the low-priced RX460 to check it out before I one day buy a more high-end card. Though, that mesa 17 came around the corner at about the same time certainly helped since a lot of games work now which didn't work before.

For that reason I upgraded to 16GB, because I usually have the browser and some other stuff open in the background for regular checks.

And browsers on modern sites today easily eat up a gig of RAM.

I'd like proper linux support / tools for their naga mouse or similar hardware...

There is no reason to believe that CDPR is going to Vulkan at all. They use HLSL compiler for Cyberpunk, so.. no Vulkan there. Maybe DX12 if even, CDPR is not known to be adopting technology fast. Maybe for titles after Cyberpunk.

Bethe is another topic. They have been always negative about Linux, but if they port to Vulkan I believe we could get some nice performance using wind (or similar, maybe newer and lesa cluttered solution).

Quoting: buenaventura

Quoting: STiATBut I can confirm it runs pretty well with AMDGPU on Mesa 17 (RX460). That's a start :-).

So that's like 2gb VRAM? I guess my 1gb VRAM probably wont cut it. Guess I'll just spend my little 40 dollar windfall on hearthstone packs then -__-

Could be, cannot test it since I do not have a card with 1Gb vram. But my guess is rather that the situation with Unity and Mesa improved drastically with Mesa 17. Try Pillars again and see if it changed. Maybe we get somebody with an older card too who can test it.
