BioShock Infinite Patch Solves AMD Processor Lock-ups

Quoting: jsa1983I played for a long half an hour yesterday and indeed I didn't experience any freezes like I used to have like every 20 min or so. FPS is quite stable for me. Catalyst 15.7.
What GPU you use? Maybe some with HD 5000 or HD 6000 series? As I know, this gen cards have bug in Catalyst drivers (we see only missing textures in Bioshock). SO maybe AMD in new driver fixed this?
It's a Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition on Kubuntu 14.04.02 64 bit. Hmm I've tried the game with previous drivers (namely 15.3, and Omega - 14.12. Probably others too) and the game renders properly. I don't miss any textures (I have almost everything set to the best quality). I'll try to give it a run and see if I can post some pics on steam so you can judge by yourself. The performance with those previous drivers was quite good and so is it with 15.7. It's just the random freezes that didn't enable me to play for a long time.
This is confirmed bugs by devs, look here: https://github.com/virtual-programming/bioshockinfinite-linux/issues/10 [External Link]

In this site is also two picture with this issues.

This bug is in Catalyst drivers but only on Terascale processors like HD 5000 and HD 6000 series, so this bug does not apply to your card.

DiRT Showdown Looks Like It's Getting A Linux Release
1 Jul 2015 at 10:23 am UTC

I remember in past Aspyr or Feral make also the same branch name r/linux_gaming :) Maybe they also making this port? :D
Also Dead Island for Mac is making from VP but on Linux, port doing main developer - Poland Techlnad. So, maybe in this case we can get a native port. I have hope.

Dota 2 Reborn Now Officially Supports Linux, Early Look
24 Jun 2015 at 8:59 am UTC

This bug with FOSS driver is not related to Dota2. This is issues in drivers. I think devs, should't going to compromise, because disabling ogl extension bring worse performance on all other linux users closed source binary blob.
Users FOSS should wait for fix it in drivers, not i Dota2, because we again go in pat situaction.

Dying Light Linux Performance Patch & New DLC Released
26 May 2015 at 7:42 pm UTC

Quoting: pete910wonder what it's like for us AMD guys/gals....
Not sure yet, I be know in the morning, when I have access to my main PC with Dying Light.

Previous patch meant that the game was not playable. FPS very weak on the HD5850, the lack of facial NPC and of every few minutes appears green incandescence pixels that the moments causes the game to crash.

I think, however if so they posted that, I think they nothing improved for the AMD GPU user : / but I check this morning, but I have a bad feeling about this.
