Quoting: F.UltraJust upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04LTS from 16.04 and Dying Light crashes after the loading screen. So I guess that the rumours that I heard on Phoronix that this is somehow related to a new version of glibc might be true.
Hey, I was with the same problem and think that was something with glibc. But compiling Mesa 18.2 RC3 solved the issue. Dying Light works as used to with latest Mesa drivers (well, maybe better as it works without the start parameters).
Think I'll just hang back and wait for 18.2 to release. Hope it is fixed. Do we know if they are doing a linux client for their upcoming game ?

A developer from Bohemia Interactive wants to know your interest in the Arma 3 Linux port

Would be great if it was in line with windows version, have a few win user friends , PITA that for around a week I can actually join in.

They were down grading at one point but that just becomes a pain for them then. So now I rarely play it do to the above!:(

ATI ????

They ain't been about since 2007 ish ;)

Vulkan would be great because my current card uses a massive 15-20 watts whilst playing this and doesn't even bother on upping the GPU/Mem clocks either.

:P

No go for AMD users by the looks of it

Tried the usual mesa overides with no luck

Edit:

Sussed it :woot:

Mesa users add MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 %command% to the start options!

@liamdawe Might be an idea to add it to the article for fellow oss users
It crashes for me while trying to modify key bindings. Do you have the same issue?
Seems fine for me the few keys I tried or are you trying a controller/joystick ?

Quoting: ShmerlYep, it shows up in the OpenGL string now:

OpenGL renderer string: Radeon RX Vega (VEGA10, DRM 3.25.0, 4.17.0-trunk-amd64, LLVM 6.0.0)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.2.0-devel (git-2854c0f795)
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL version string: 4.4 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 18.2.0-devel (git-2854c0f795)
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.40


Killing compat profile could have made sense if Khronos would have done it. But they didn't, and now it's proliferated in Nvidia blob, so some clueless developers use it despite many warnings not to, and you get results like Dying Light. There is no option for Mesa but to implement it.
Does Dying Light work for you ?
You can already make Dying Light run on stable mesa if you set the Launch Options in Steam to "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%" the great thing with the new patches is that such workarounds will no longer be necessary.

edit: however reading the mesa-dev post it seams that this perhaps does fix some stability for Dying Light that the override did not. In that case this change is even better :)
As mentioned numerous times, that fix does not work for arch users or even non *buntu based distros. :(
Yeah I know but that should indicate that the problem on Arch is something else. I do hope that this is where I'm totally wrong so that things will start to work for you Arch-guys as well.
It's not just arch seems to be anything other than *ubuntu/debian but I agree hope its fixed soon too, I have already played through it once so not a major issue but it's a good co-op game.
