The open source Vulkan driver for AMD 'radv' has been merged into Mesa

When AMD release open source Vulkan, I think this RADV should be disabled and stay into mesa code as fallback backend or completly removed.

Dead Island Definitive Edition & Riptide Definitive Edition both patched to fix major issues

Mageia 5 x64. Kernel 4.4.X with patches from kolasa.
Also on AUR for Arch Linux, you can find patches for catalyst 15.9 and 15.12 for new kernels like 4.7. Should be soon supported also 4.8. For this on Arch or Manjaro you need use legacy xserver 1.17. But working fine.

Also is possible to run it on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but fglrx need to be manually patched for new kernels and ofc xsever from 15.10.

Quoting: m2mg2
Quoting: ziabiceStill not working with Mesa radeonsi, all I get is a black screen, but I can hear sounds and voices :(
Not surprising, I believe these use the engine for Dying Light. Dying Light will not run on AMD at all, NVidia only. I did play the original Dead Island on an AMD card, but not the Definitive. Unfortunately I think if you want to play Dead Island/Dying Light, you must use Nvidia.

Would be nice if that changes at some point.
Dying Light working fine on AMD GPU with fglrx driver. Don't know how or if working on AMDGPU-PRO but should. Mesa still is not supporting.

In this company, now working Leszek Godlewski. He working in The Farm 51 as developer and also in free time he porting to Linux Painkiller H&D and Deadfall Adventures.
So I think he can port this game to Linux in-house (like he doing before), to this is answer, why Aaron from Knockout Games not working on it.
