Mesa has now hit full OpenGL 4.4 support for AMD radeonsi and Intel
13 Oct 2016 at 8:34 am UTC

Quoting: boltronicsBeen looking forward to this for a long time. Hopefully with my force OpenGL version overrides, Dying Light will finally run. If so, I'm sure it'll run much better than AMDGPU-Pro (as it couldn't be any worse!).

AFAIK, Dying Light is the only game for which we have been waiting for these features to drop. Everything else I've tried already runs great with Mesa, and I own a lot of games.
That's a precious piece of information to me because I am actually considering wether I'd get an AMD card in the near future, rather than an nVidia. I thought about opening a topic on this on the forums, as there is no real compatibility list for the time being.

AMD Zen looks like it will release at CES in January 2017

I too would have bought an AMD CPU if they had been in line with Intel products. Their open source strategy with their GPUs also makes me wonder if I'm getting wether a GTX 1060 or an RX 480... So, for the time being I'm just waiting until I see clearly what's the better option.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll get a new rig anytime soon, as I'm more of an upgrade freak and I only buy a new computer every ten years or so...

Multiplayer note: The online multiplayer is Linux->Linux only, no cross-platform multiplayer.
To get this out of the way first: The FPS isn’t the best
Generally in the heat of combat it hovers at just above 30FPS
It's also highly advisable to quit the game and reload it when changing any graphical options. Or else you will get weird results and performance.
And now suddenly

Did all of that change or are you just again shilling for Feral?
Despite all those shortcomings, including some that aren't quoted above, I just LOVE this game.
Too many people are overreacting about Feral's port performances, I'm running a poor old GTX 660 and I max out most of the games they release with a pretty decent framerate.

This is great news! That's an RTS legend coming on our OS and only a month after the Windows release. Oh and it's the first game from GSC Gameworld to come our way.

Quoting: WorMzyAwesome news! I've been replaying the previous game in Crossover (works perfectly, btw) to rekindle my interest in the series. Gonna be looking forward to this!
When I tried to play it on Crossover 15 I got a black screen, how did you proceed?
I probably should've clarified that you need to disable DX11 in the options (Steam has a separate option to launch the config manager, if you didn't install through steam then you might need to manually edit an ini somewhere).
I did... I guess I should just try it again...

By the way, I bought the very first Deux Ex in its big cardboard box back when it got released on Mac, I still have it proudly displayed on my living room. This game single-handedly changed the way I see video games, and it's the one title I quote when asked if video games can be a form of art or not.

I own every game in the series, even its utter failures, and I can't wait to play this, System Shock remake and System Shock 3.
