Quoting: m0uHHey Guys!

Has it someone running on arch? I'm stucking at the intro and finally it crashes.

br

I'll be testing it on Arch (AMD) and SteamOS (NVidia) shortly. Will report back!

Overlord II has been on Linux for months.

Yeah, I was just thinking that - seeing as I own it ;D

Quoting: crt0mega

Quoting: ElectricPrismIn fact I did just that earlier this week and expressed how I kicked $800 of Nvidia to the curb in favor of MESA and RX 480 – because it's important to me that they know what people like me are doing and how we're thinking so they can better service us and we can service them with $$$.

I'm still waiting for Vega to replace my aging HD7970 :D

And maybe me too depending on the performance difference of Polaris and Vega.

Polaris has turned out to be a good time to switch to Red Team for me.

Same here - will chuck the RX480 in another machine here if Vega's fast enough :)

Experience on Polaris has been just freaking amazing tbh (against my old GTX660)...

Quoting: Mountain ManIt's very simple: being poor does not entitle you to the economic output of others.

This.

Look at the end of the day you have no automatic right to have something just because others do.

Buy a game at full price, or at a discount, in a way that records it as a Linux sale and you help the cause.

However, if you purchase a game in a way that records it as a Windows sale you reduce the chance of future games coming to Linux.

Quoting: edddeduckferalSummary: AMD is unsupported meaning we don't recommend you purchase it on AMD GPUs, however we have don a lot of work towards support which should happen once all the improvements to Mesa/Kernel are in stable branches.

Guys, hats off to you. Your level of commitment to mesa is great. I've seen at least two bug reports filed during the last week by Feral's James Legg (even one with a patch to fix it - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=e33f31d61f5e9019f8b0bac0378dfb8fd1147421 [External Link] -) which I believe were related to this game. Thank you a lot, Feral!!

Thanks, I'm glad you're so appreciative of our efforts :)

I'll second this - thanks Feral :)

The experience with AMD Mesa has been brilliant on most titles; Tomb Raider is excellent - even Mordor is running well now (git versions).

I'll be picking up Mad Max and Warhammer as soon as they're out!

Quoting: ShmerlMay be contacting Leszek Godlewski makes sense to ask thins question.

Would probably be a good idea. Not sure how he'd respond though, I think he's been getting crap from people about Darksiders since he left Nordic(or whatever related company he worked for).

Hmm Darksiders - now that is a game I'd like to play...

Quoting: ElectricPrismI'm very excited preparing to switch to Red Camp, I'll be TTY switching like it's 1999, and kiss goodbye to GPU buffer corruption from NVidia.

Yes, yes you will my friend :)

I won't go into details but I've just switched from a 660GTX to a RX480 (as mentioned) on my workstation.

Result: I've been running the RX480 (Mesa) for a week and, so far, you couldn't pay me enough to make me switch back - which is a massive statement on how far AMD have come.

Quoting: liamdaweYou should remember not everyone uses Linux for just freedom, there's many reasons. You should just accept others choices and move on. Not everyone needs a lecture and we don't need an AMD topic derailed because of it :)

Sure Liam! that's why I said earlier that if you use linux for whatever other reasons, its completely fine.
Ohh and can you please benchmark some games like Mordor with the latest patches? (the one's claiming 25% improvements for bioshock infinite)

I would love to, but I don't own any AMD GPU to test with unfortunately. Until the Patreon grows bigger I can't really afford to shell out on some.

I will - running an RX480 in my workstation now :)

this is a serious issue affecting playability of certain AAA
Linux games.

Shadow of Mordor included in that grouping perchance?
