Well, no. Let's not pretend Mesa is perfect. All software has bugs and regressions.

The only time I have experienced regressions is when using mesa git, now the kernel driver is a different story. There are still a few games that have issues (Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth) and some with performance problems (War Thunder performs poorly in certain situations). I recall kernel 4.10 and recently 4.14 has given some performance regressions. All is fine thus far on kernel 4.15RC1 from my testing so far.

Hopefully RADV will be supported, although I feel if it is, it will be limited to mesa-git.

Looks pretty good. Is the FOV adjustable, because that looks really high.

Firefox! At least that what I think when I see some of the scenes with the light reflecting off the fox.

Dying Light is still broken for me, even with the mesa fix, game just crashes after the loading screen, no errors.

As a result, I have been playing tons of War Thunder, I am completely addicted to that game. Probably put in at least 15 hours this weekend. With some Assassin's Creed 1 on the PS3, plan on at least playing through the Ezio Trilogy.

I looked at the screen shot and thought, Far Cry.

Quoting: charliebrownauI still havent found an easy way to get my R9 380 video card to work correctly in mint or ubuntu or debian

Why does drivers have to be such a chore in linux

While I know how you feel, these days it is pretty easy on Ubuntu/Mint:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

reboot

I tired 5 different messa drivers and 3 different kernals on ubunutu mate , none gave the same performance as AMD GPU PRO

I am now using Debian 9.1 Mate , it lacks PPA support

Also Ubuntu Mate 17.04 had issues working with my audio interface correctly
it seemed when i was messing around with mesa drivers it resulted in screwing up pulse audio

The only solution I could see to fix pulse audio was to install debian

If you are running debian 9.1 and running an AMD GPU, I would highly recommend updating to Debian Sid/Unstable (unstable is not crashing, just in reference to update frequency) It has been solid for me and gives me the latest Mesa (17.2.1) and Kernel (4.12.3). Much safer than trying to add ubuntu PPA's to your installation.

Quoting: m0nt3@laimdawe have you attempted to reach out to the developer for a response? I really want to play this game again, but all I get are big black blocks around models or my screen fills with big red blobs.

Yes, by all available methods, multiple times. They have never once replied to me.

That is sad to hear. Thank for trying to reach out. I do miss me some Ark.

Excellent news for me, I love War Thunder and just started playing it recently when I found out it was on linux. Now I have over 200 hours in it already, according to steam.
