Quoting: buenaventura

Quoting: edmondoInstalled and played about 90 minutes on AMD RX 470 (mesa driver) without issues.

The game looks nice and the story seems interesting, even I've only scratched a bit of it.

Now let's go back into the last castoff body and try to understand "what does one life matter".

What are your specs more exactly, how many gb VRAM does that card have? These names tell me nothing.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for the late answer.

The gfx card is a RADEON RX 470 GAMING X 4G.

My CPU is an AMD X3 720 overclocked at 3 GHz.

Quoting: ShmerlNot sure whey they used lower case variable though. Usual Mesa variables are upper case. Not that it matters much (I personally prefer lower case), but why not be consistent?

Because it's a dri option (lower case) and not a mesa environment variable (higher case). But yes, you can pass dri options as environment variables :)

Quoting: dmantioneFor me, the most important thing that this shows, is that it is possible for a small group of people to write a Vulkan driver.

Sure. But a small group of talented people:
* Dave has an incredible experience in graphics. He is the Linux graphics maintainer, is a member of Khronos and has worked on a countless number of things, every radeon driver since ever, PRIME, virgl, X, everything, ...
* Bas is very talented (student I think) doing an amazing job on radeonsi, like DCC, offchip tessellation, ... I'm very impressed and AMD should give a job to this guy.

As Bas pointed out in the Phoronix Forum [1], they've built on work done and knowledge given from other talented people: "Another thing is that we already use some existing components (LLVM, NIR) and for those our features are a subset of GL and hence already implemented, which means we don't have to implement that."

This is Open Source and this is awesome!

The work on radv is not finished, missing features have to be implemented, other cards to be supported, pesky bugs to be fought, code to be merged in the main mesa tree, ... so a lot of fun for the future. :D

Nice! ^_^

Installed, played about 30 minutes and it works perfectly (Radeon HD 5850, mesa driver).

Following patch in mesa from Krzysztof Sobiecki seems to fix the crash on start for me (Radeon HD5850 Evergreen):

Quoting: MaelraneWorks fine for me on AMD and with Mesa (= FOSS drivers).

I'm on r600g (Evergreen).

Dota 2 loads incredibly fast (about 10 times faster) to the main menu. When I start a game I get an but starting a game get a SIGILL signal (Illegal instruction).

How did you get it to run on AMD with mesa driver?

Here the not very useful backtrace:

Quoting: sergeWork with OSS drivers with an AMD HD6950,if MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT %command% is set in the steam launch option.

Thanks for the hint, serge.

Yes, I confirm, it works with the open source driver (r600g) on an AMD HD5850 with 35-40 FPS. Very nice!
