For those on AMD oss drivers. No go too, no worms to boot. Like you Lagh, had to install libbsd as not using *buntu too.

Here's what I get



*sad panda* :(

mmmm, not convinced , It uses the Denuvo DRM I belive. Thought that wasn't cross platform.

Sincerely hope I'm wrong though !

Bit behind liam ..... Old news now :P

Regards Star Citizen, It will have zero effect on it. SC is basically their own in-house engine now.

You mean 4.7 from Cauldron repository? (testing from upcoming Mageia 6?)

For those wondering runs surprisingly well on mesa with a 290x

Ultra is too much @ 1440p in the big areas, set to high am averaging around mid 40's.

Quoting: Ben DAwesome! I have this bug on AMD (been playing on Windows ), will try it as soon as I can.

Have this too after switching to the AMDGPU/radeon driver, fglrx is fine

Quoting: Zelox

Quoting: niarbehtNot only that, but if you examine their current Windows launcher compared to their original Windows launcher, you'll notice a shift from the original being Windows-only middleware to the current launcher, hint hint, seeming to be entirely based on libraries available on Linux.

Even more fun? In a recent episode of Bug Smashers, you could see a list of the available launchers in the programmer's ?Visual Studio? IDE, including such gems as "WindowsLauncher", "HeadlessLauncher", and... wait for it...

"LinuxLauncher".

So, they're at least poking it with a stick. And, seemingly, planning for it. Including making noise every now and again about revamping some stuff deep in the engine to better support DX12/Vulkan.

Also, at some point they switched sound middleware to something cross-platform with Linux support.

Do you... see a trend?

EDIT: I mean, sure, there are no guarantees in life, but there's good evidence that they're maneuvering themselves to a position to support Linux.

OMG !! :D Im gonna watch bug smasher.
No I did not scream like a school girl xD.

Its probably no guarantee, but judging from the hype of Star citizen, its the first real vulkan supported game with a linux support hopefully.
There might be a bigger chanse players are going to try Linux, or more gamers are going to linux cause its free and they jsut want to play there Star citizen.

Things like this also give me faith,

Take a look at who the gold sponsor is...

As for pcars, had a gut feeling this would never happen tbh

Good news as I've just jumped on to mageia 6 cauldron to try the AMDGPU driver + radeon_si. (kernel dev enabled it on request)

Have to say it's working real well, had a quick blast on boarderlands 2 before I went to work this morning, 120+ fps maxed out @ 1440p

That's with mesa 12.1
290x

It has impressed me, No sound via hdmi yet for those interested.
