Valve are looking to gather a list of games that don't work with radeonsi

If a game requires special compat overrides and such, the developers need to be contacted by Valve to alter the launcher for those running MESA for the time being. People really shouldn't need to get special magic commands setup in order to run games, its annoying and majority of people will NOT know about them.

Just keep in mind with such a list you need to specify the exact Mesa build version (and LLVM obviously) along with some basic system/os information because it seems some games work on older MESA vs Newer at varying times during its development which is likely to cause some confusion...

Wish I could contribute to a 'LIST' report but no AMD card atm (waiting for VEGA).

XCOM: Enemy Unknown should now work properly with radeonsi

I do hope they make XCOM3 terror from the depth where its the winning scenario from XCOM1.

The Aliens had a awful lot going on underwater and I know XCOM2 hinted at terror from the depth in its ending, so perhaps XCOM3 will be a continuation, but hopefully we'll get some sort of expanded base building. (multiple bases would be nice).

No that's what > I < said. whatever.

Just because the steam survey says it knows about Wine Project doesn't mean they are attaching that info to either Windows or Linux OS stat record, what is likely happening is that it goes under OTHEROS part of the record.

I believe using Wine should show as LinuxOS, regardless of what the game supports. (to gauge steam users using Linux, wine is not windows!)

I don't think you understand what I was trying to say. So nevermind. Through one ear out the other...

And those users are rejected in the stats most likely.

Quoting: TheRiddickTHey should also count users who are using OS type Wine or similar.
They do, and possibly as Linux. If you run Steam in Wine and get a survey it records the wine version (you can see this in the information before you submit it).
No I don't believe they do unless it's an official OS! (got proof otherwise then let me know)

Multiple statistics have shown Linux market-share doing better than ever

Humans are quite promiscuous, even when in relationships. Why do you think most marriages fail? PORNHUB and related feed that desire (a bit) without the risk.
