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.

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. :-(

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.

Quoting: meggermancurrently the AMD FOSS drivers are sitting around 20% behind the binary nvidia drivers.

80%!? Are they really that close?

.....There are some exceptions though (looking at YOU, Deus Ex: MD).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quoting: liamdaweWelcome to another Wednesday Madness article here at GOL. Another quick look at some good deals you shouldn't pass up!....

I grabbed Valley [External Link] from Steam 60% off!

Quoting: PompesdeskyI would have rather supported Feral by directly buying Dirt Rally from them but it was too pricey for me @49.99€, couldn't resist the Humble Monthly :(

I'm waiting on a Feral sale for Dirt Rally, I will buy directly from them if possible. But I don't blame you, it costs too much right now and I was tempted by the humble bundle aswell.

Ive been toying with the idea of getting a 1070 or 1080 solely down to the drivers just working in most games on Linux. But I do want to continue to support AMD and I know open source is going to be better in the long run.

But seriously not interested by these Titans... Just money grabbing nonsense.

I played and enjoyed F1 2012? I believe.. But I haven't played the sequels. I heard 2015 was one of the worst of the series, so maybe not the best one to bring to Linux.

Actually I can't get behind a new F1 game for each season. They should charge for a base Formula 1 game then allow you to buy yearly updates/episodes that are cheaper than a full blown game for new car models and tracks.
