The trailer really makes me wanna play it (I don't know why, but each teaser they do makes me want to play/test whatever they are promoting). But unfortunately VR sets are too expensive for me with their current prices :(

Quoting: Hamish
Quoting: x_wingBut your GPU has supports up to OpenGL 4.5 (at least with core profiles).
[hamish@Gehirn ~]$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL core profile version"
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.2.4
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.2.4
[hamish@Gehirn ~]$


That said, I just tried launching Trine 3 with Mesa overriding the OpenGL version to 4.1 and it does work.
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=410
./trine3.sh




I can also confirm that Daniel Scharrer's LD_PRELOAD hack does fix the issues with Trine 2, so I have appended it to the end of the article.
Me bad, you're one tier down: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=R600g-OpenGL-4.5-Hits [External Link]

Quoting: pete910Argentinas economical situation I can't help with, though I would have thought it's down to the individuals economical situation :P
Yeah, in the end is all related to individual situations... and if you were fast enough in order to buy before the devaluation XD

By the way, Comandante is definitely a LGA fanboy ;) Still, I went from a 3470k to a 3700X, no regrets!

Quoting: HamishJust to be clear, Trine 3 does have Linux support at least. I have not played it though due to still having an older graphics card without OpenGL 4 support.
But your GPU has supports up to OpenGL 4.5 (at least with core profiles).

I believe that the only real workaround for this games is D9VK or gallium-nine. Although what a pity.

I know that I said this before but: I wish we had something like the Mesa matrix page in order to know how far we are for a complete implementation of D3D9/11
