Any fix for this?

BTW i was playing King of the Hill mission with mod RHS and JSRS sound mod.
Same issue here.

It's a Mesa driver issue, unfortunately still present with Mesa 18. We have reported it.
Its been in Mesa for long time, I am curious what is blocker for this bug to be fixed
For those interested, here is the bug report my colleague made:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101739 [External Link]
I think the reason why this bug doesn't get resolved is that Mesa devs don't think it's their bug at all.
If the bug really gets resolved with the override then the port is doing something wrong. Also see mareks patch notes for resolving the rocket league issue: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-June/160177.html [External Link]

If VP thinks this is still a Mesa bug they probably need to elaborate why.

Trying the experimental GCN 1.0 support in AMDGPU
20 Jun 2017 at 7:32 am UTC

GCN gen1 cards have very low priority for AMD, thats sad as even newer cards (although the lower ends) still use the architecture.
The performance difference is a regression. amdgpu and radeon where always on the same level. RadV had very poor support in the beginning. Im actually surprised things are working better now, when I tested last time, any vulkan app crashed the system hard.
Thanks for the test, saved me time to try myself.

Mesa developer Marek is looking to finally sort out threaded GL dispatch
7 Feb 2017 at 12:45 pm UTC

I talked a bit with Marek. The implementation is far from optimal. There is potential but it isn't for today.

thread off => 67 fps
thead on => 51 fps
thread on + hack to remove a bad sync => 86 fps

Gregory is the one of the authors of pcsx2. So actually, he isnt really a mesa dev.
But he stated somewhere in the pcsx2 forums, that the plugin GSDX would receive a major performance boost if MESA gets threaded support. I guess he just shared his experience based on test he made earlier.
