Quoting: yar4eIn case they'll not port it to Linux we have WINE + DXVK ;)

Yes, but we should only pay if the hard work is made by the developer...

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Am of two minds on this on one hand its amazing how much progress wine is making and how much work the mesa team are putting in to make amd/intel graphics viable as a gaming option on linux. However I am also a little worried that Valve and other big developers thinking well we dont need to do a native linux port we can do a wine wrapper or failing that we can just leave it windows only and the linux community will figure out the dependancies to get to to work under wine.

The wrapper could also mean a tool for publisher/devs in order to port their old games to Linux. The idea of giving support to our platform means that they give to the end user a tested and easy to install product. So, eventually is another workaround in order to keep us gaming.

Quoting: Guestplayable and playable without texture corruptions and other issues caused by running a game in a mesa environment are two very different things

What nox said, give us some examples. The games I usually play on my system doesn't have texture corruption, so it's difficult for me to answer something that I don't experiment.

I have been using Mesa with AMDGPU drivers for more than two years by now (R9 380 and R9 580), I experienced game crash or hangs (and most of the times was a game fault) but I don't recall having texture corruption.

Quoting: pete910All those work fine with mesa with AMD, Expecting intel's IGP to run them well is a little unfair. Lets be honest, Intel make good CPU's but plain suck at the graphics side of things.

There is currently one game that has issue for me with mesa (I have a fairly good library too) and that is Dying light !

It refuses to work with mesa on anything other than Ubuntu for some weird reason :dizzy:

It has been working for me since Mesa 17.3 (I ended the game months ago).

On my launch options I have this: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%

Check if that helps you!

Don't work for those not on *buntu distros. But thanks for the suggestion

Well, I currently have Kubuntu 16.04 (with padoka ppa) and is working for me :P (I've updated my kernel up to 4.13 when I played it, but the problem was at Mesa level due to a non standard usage of the API -AFAIK-)

Quoting: Guestyes a recent game at a time when mesa is actually good vs games that were made when mesa was not so good totally proved wrong ;)

Well I think it does, as I was answering to his last statement: "it's getting better but theirs always going to be that one game that is just not working or devs can't get working due to a limitation of the driver"

Also, the count of "old" games that are unplayable with Mesa is near zero...

Quoting: Guestpersonally for me i have experienced issues with three games under mesa

aragami (probably a unity problem but crashes every distro i have tried)

the last tinker city of colors (devs said it might be a unity texture issue)

mark of the ninja (broken off center display)

keep in mind that i don't buy a crap ton of games so i can't speak for all games

mesa is still not perfect for gaming on linux

it's getting better but theirs always going to be that one game that is just not working or devs can't get working due to a limitation of the driver

I think that the release of Rise of the TR proves you're wrong. With this game I saw more issues with nvidia driver than with Mesa. In fact, one of the most incredible things of the open source driver was that Feral committed a bug fix on the driver. This means that publishers don't have to wait for AMD or Nvidia to fix their drivers.

Quoting: Guestmesa is a life saver for intel and amd users however i still stand by what i always said older games are still going to run bad in mesa due to being mostly optimized for nvidia gpus

Olders games like...? The big titles started to come Linux since SteamOS born (and this is quite recent), so there aren't very old titles that I can think on (out of the ones that runs on wine).
