I was tempted to get it on the Steam summer sale, but I've decided to wait and see if they support Linux first. I don't trust developers to keep their promises and I want to make sure that if/when they do support Linux my purchase is visible to them as a Linux purchase.
Black Mesa 'Xen' update delayed, screenshots looks beautiful

I bought it when they added Linux support. I'm waiting for them to finish the game before I play it through tho. This is the nature of game development though. It can take time to get right and its better than rushing it out and it being bad.
I really hope projects like this help fan some flames at Valve. They don't seem bothered in making a HL3 from what I've read only a small group within Valve were working on it. Also would love to see a LFD3

I use amd-staging.4.9 and now 4.11 on my r9 270 and I was seeing similar performance to the Radeon kernel.
Vulkan is improving but still lags AMDs own closed source Vulkan driver.
Speaking of Dawn of War III, I believe Samuel at Valve has submitted the necessary extension to run in Opengl to mesa-dev. Its probably in mesa-git by now.

The developer of EVERSPACE makes it clear it's not just NVIDIA problems holding the port up, making progress

Looks like yaakuro is looking into one of the bugs stopping a Linux version from being released right now.

Its nice to see the community working on game engine bugs for Linux as it benefits all future games using Unreal too.

The Mesa fixes needed for Dying Light and Dead Island Definitive Edition are now in Mesa-git

This is really good. I hope once all the native titles are working they will show some love for Rage and Doom and basically any other game using idtech through wine. I managed to hack the shaders on Rage with a guide from the now defunct website gearsongallium.com. But I was getting weird tiled corruption that I never managed to find a fix for.
I know there is a branch of mesa for testing Doom on radv but that doesn't look like its ever going to be merged. :-(

Wine 2.8 released with asynchronous Direct3D command stream

I wonder how much performance there is to having asynchronous command stream vs the old implementation of csmt. I'm guessing it would reduce latency and improve throughput if done correctly.
Marek submits patch series for threaded Gallium to Mesa, boosts performance in games

The most recent patches have improved Deus Ex, and some work is being done on additional OGL features that should bring performance for that game.
I would say Radeonsi has very playable performance on most titles now. Just the odd game that doesn't do well and those games using compatibility profiles where the driver falls short.

Quoting: eldersnakeQuoting: Dolus.....There are some exceptions though (looking at YOU, Deus Ex: MD).Quoting: meggermancurrently the AMD FOSS drivers are sitting around 20% behind the binary nvidia drivers.
80%!? Are they really that close?

Mesa 17.1 will use a set 1GB size for the shader cache

The shader cache is an important feature us AMD owners have been waiting for a long time on mesa. Cutting loading times and smoothing out hitches. Its important, although not all games need it as much as others.
There's going to be a Vulkan event in the UK, Feral Interactive & Croteam will be attending

Any discussion of Vulkan is good. We need to hear it talked about more and more. I want to see it adopted on PC as the standard going forward not DX12.
Linux gamers on Arch may want to hold off on updating due to openssl breaking some games (updated)

I havent played any games since the update. But it did a number on Spotify also. Looking through the comments on AUR I had to install some compat packages and update Spotify and it was working again.
Arch can be a blessing and a curse. I like it for getting the latest performance and dev on my GPU tho.
