Quoting: strunkenboldAnyway the list we talk about is this one:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_broken_on_Mesa

And Timothy Arceri from Valve posts updates in that lists periodically. I already told you to check history there. So Valve are clearly paying attention to it.

Check also this list: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_with_recent_fixes_in_Mesa

So again. If you want to do something constructive - help filing bugs and keeping the list up to date.

Quoting: NeverthelessI found a simple suid program on the net, which I just had to change a bit to do the right things.

How do you set the resulting binary? I tried making it owned by root:root and then giving it setuid flag, but it still fails when setuid is called from it.

Quoting: ShmerlThey were asked multiple times, why they never worked on games that aren't Steam exclusives, but Feral never gave any sensible answer.

Actually, they gave an answer to sbolokanov:

Very interesting, and from it, it sounds like they can decide where to release, unlike many said before? Then why not on GOG?

Quoting: sbolokanovBummer, folks.

I got the following answer:

If you're wondering who to request GOG releases etc. from, you can certainly put your requests to us and we'll listen. However, GOG isn't viable for us at the moment.

I wonder what they mean by "not viable"?

Quoting: strunkenboldIt should be obvious that the original reporter won't fill a bug report.

Well, it sounds like it doesn't bother anyone else either. As the saying goes, if you don't want to file bug reports - don't complain.

And not every bug is a Mesa bug for the reference. There are application bugs that Mesa developers can do nothing about. May be that's the case?

Quoting: strunkenboldI'm sorry but I do complain for good reason. Basically valve called for a list but unfortunately never gave feedback.
It's like I said with the X3 bug. If valve would really care they reproduced the issue and opened a bug on the freedesktop bug tracker. But that didn't happen.

Who reported the issue in the first place? No one stopped them from submitting a Mesa bug report. That's the proper process. Not reporting Mesa bugs first is counter productive. And saying that list is incomplete doesn't help either, if you don't want to add to it.

Quoting: RafiLinuxI want to show these guys some support but I do not use Steam

They were asked multiple times, why they never worked on games that aren't Steam exclusives, but Feral never gave any sensible answer.

Quoting: RafiLinuxAre the games with the download feature solid and with no need for Steam?

I don't think any of the games sold from their site can be used without Steam, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Quoting: strunkenboldSorry but the list is outdated and lists mainly game bugs. Also I didn't saw any dev ever reacting to that list.

Check page history. And if you are complaining about the list being incomplete, then help improving it.

Quoting: liamdaweondemand also isn't a thing with newer Intel CPUs. There's only powersave and performance.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this, the default shipping in Ubuntu for newer Intel chips is powersave. Likely because they don't split their download between desktop and laptops.

There's likely a majority of users on newer Intel chips on powersave on their desktop, without knowing.

Interesting. For Ryzen I only see "schedutil", "ondemand" and "performance".

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: GuestWhat I meant was it should be automatic. No need for human intervention, no need to install a separate program.

That's what governors like "ondemand" are supposed to do, but don't always succeed in.

Just for the reference, when cores are loaded evenly, ondemand works well. When cores are loaded unevenly, ondemand misses scaling. I noticed it with dxvk. When dxvk wasn't saturating cores well, switching to performance boosted framerate in TW3 (Ryzen 7 1700X). But when dxvk added a fix to use memory differently and started loading all cores better - switching to performance wasn't changing anything, meaning that ondemand started working as it should.
