Quoting: F.Ultra

Quoting: johndoeThe patch is now in mesa master.
This means that the next oibaf ppa mesa release should pick it up for ubuntu users.

I hope it also lands in 17.3.0 which is to be released this weekend.

Just tested Observer today with mesa 17.3.1 and still experience the black screen at that door. Do one have to remove some cache files for this to work or did the patch not land yet?

Sadly the patch landed only in master (mesa 17.4.0-devel) for now.
You need to install mesa master from Oibaf or Padoka PPA.

In the meantime I've found that "Steamroll" needs this patch too and reported this also to mesa devs asking them to backport the patch to mesa stable 17.3.x.
Look here ...

Tapani (from Intel) also found another game called "Refunct" and answered that he will attempt to push the patch to stable 17.3 too.

Indeed this new update runs like butter for me on Intel with Mesa-17.4.0-devel.
I also don't get this "AndroidMedia" plugin error - the Mesa driver supports Android, maybe that's why I dont't get it?!

I would really like to see more developers update their UE4 games to latest UE4-engine... EVERSPACE, >Observer_, Steamroll, ARK, ...

I'm pretty sure the games would have less problems and better performance on linux.

Quoting: 1xokValve no longer lists the different distributions. Only Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 64 bit and others:

What the f**k is going on here.
I'm really angry reading this post.
If this is true I like to write a f**king email to Valve asking them what the f**k they do.
I bought 8 games in november (I don't use Ubuntu) and I'm f**king sure that I'm not the only one.
These numbers must be totally wrong!!!!!

Quoting: eldersnakeThe patch works great. I still experienced a myriad of crash to desktops (AMD 380X on Mesa) no matter what version of Mesa I used, until I started Observer with the Mesa cache disabled. I haven't had a crash since, touch wood.

Great news eldersnake... nice the hear from you again.

If I had an AMD GPU I would enable the cache again and wait until the next crash happens, zip the cache folder (hopefully it's not too big) and send it over to Mesa devs via their bugtracker at bugs.freedesktop.org.
I'm sure they find something - these guys are awesome and do a great job.

The more we help them to improve their drivers the happier we are and the more AMD and Intel GPUs get official support from the game publishers and devs.

Quoting: F.UltraIf only they could fix it so that we AMD users can open doors without experiencing black outs.

If you would have read the bug report you would know that the patch fixes exactly "this" problem.

Tested the patch now also with 17.2.5 and 17.3.0-rc5 > works!
Happy gaming AMD and Intel mesa users!

@AMD-mesa-users: Please report back if it works for you - and of course to Aspyr.
We need "official" Mesa support.

Quoting: eldersnakeSeems to run well at first on my AMD 380X on Mesa git (well, git as of last week heh).

However as soon as I open the first door in the apartment complex, the screen goes black. If I stay just inside the door and look out I can see the courtyard thingy where the birds are, but as soon as I edge through the door the whole screen goes black as if there's zero lighting :<

Tapani from Intel and me solved this problem:)

Using this patch with mesa master (mesa-17.4.0-devel) works for me with Intel Iris Pro 5200.
The issue was a GLSL spec restriction - with this patch it should work for all mesa users.

I will test the patch if it also works for stable (17.2.5) as soon as I'm back at home.

Quoting: g000hI'm interested to know which is the better game: Avorion, ASTROKILL or Everspace ?

Anyone have any viewpoints to share? How do they compare to Elite Dangerous?

ASTROKILL feels realistic and it reminds me also of Battlestar Galactica (Liam already mentioned it).
You don't shoot with laser or plasma cannons like in EVERSPACE.
Here you have "kinetic weapons" like machine guns, flak cannons, homing missiles and rail guns... I really LIKE this!
But ASTROKILL needs some more time (Early Access) to get finished.

EVERSPACE on the other hand already released fully for Windows and Mac.
I will buy it in the next days but for me it looks like a simple action space shooter with ship upgrades.
But simple does not mean it makes no fun. And having fun is most important for me:)

I will buy this game for sure in the next days and hope that Tux will be visible then.
Already bought ASTROKILL which also use Unreal Engine 4 and it runs very nice (no Tux yet, Early Access but cheap).
