I can vouch for the performance on Mesa. On both Ubuntu and Arch this game was Locked to 144Hz (Vsync Enabled) maxed out.

Quoting: titi...you get several complete system freezes a day. At least this is the case for Ryzen5 2500U using ubuntu.
Note I've seen this on Fedora as well, only using Gnome shell. I have not been able to replicate these crashes in another DE on my 2500U machine.

I for one will be upgrading my Vega FE -> Radeon 7 (I'll miss that blue though). I have also seen games exceed 13GB of VRAM on my FE so the 16GB is a necessity for me.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had plenty of updates lately, Danger Zone is looking good

Performance uplift is much better with this new release on mesa-git. Since danger zone is so varied it's hard to quantify the improvement but it's easily 2X in some scenarios.

I do still get random crashes though, I attempted to set the shader quality to medium and I *believe* it still crashed so more testing is needed.

Without knowing your hardware it's hard to say.

I'm eager to see the performance uplift on Mesa, I'll report back tonight.

While I still prefer valve/steam due to Proton I will say any Linux support is welcome. I've been using discord installed via flatpak daily to play CSGO with my Windows using heathens friends and have no issues to report.

I'll also purchase and give away a copy of this upon release.

Quoting: svartalfThey promised it if the funding hit or exceeded the $600k funding mark- and ONLY when it did.
I hope you're just a troll as reading isn't that hard:

Part of the problem, is that Linux support was a "stretch goal" at $600K (see here [External Link] and they did get funding of over $625K.
and it only gets worse...they DID commit to it. From the "see here" above:

We’ll be committing to supporting Mac and Linux, and you’ll be able to select a version to download at the same $15 and above price. And, like the DRM free version, the shipping date for these versions will be further out, towards the end of 2013.

Tell you what, the first person to donate any amount to any open source project and post the receipt gets a copy of this game purchased directly from feral.

Quoting: GuestAt the time of writing, the Feral store is down for maintenance.
Feral is making it quite hard to give a copy away... :whistle:
