The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form

Quoting: GuestIf you buy on HumbleBundle you get a Steam and a GOG key.
I suppose developers marked Linux release as beta, so GOG didn't accept it. But since some report that it works with Mesa master, I think they should unmark it as beta for GOG.

Quoting: LeopardGame itself is Drm free.

Steam is not = Drm
While game might be intended to be DRM-free, Steam makes everything there DRMed. So don't misinform others please.

Quoting: MayeulCSome people are saying that it requires LLVM 5.0, I am inclined to believe them.
I wonder what will developers consider stable enough to release the game on GOG?

I didn't really follow the whole thread. So does it work with Mesa git or not?

Quoting: berillionsNo need to open a bug report on Mesa bug list. This bug is already known and it is not a bug's game but a bug in the Engine. This issue is fixed in Unreal Engine 4.17.2 but "Everspace" use UE4 4.16 :

AstroKill had the same issue but since the engine update, the game works out-of-box with Mesa 17.2 and >
Sounds good. Developers said this:

No, we're still at 4.16 - so most likely the game will crash on AMD. We'll migrate to 4.17 sooner or later, but it might take some time. First of all - we've had some bad experiences with quickly installing upgrades and are now usually waiting until a few engine hotfiixes and patches have been released. And then the migration itself might take a few days or weeks (some engine migrations went really smooth, others took a long time and were causing a lot of problems - so it's hard to tell)
So hopefully it will work well on Linux, eventually.

Quoting: PixelPiDoes that work on GOG too?
No, because GOG don't support partial in-development releases. Did Rockfish comment on that?

Quoting: GuestWorks on amdgpu and radeonsi for me, updated from git today. I have only played for a few minutes though.
That sounds good already. Please inform developers about your results.

Quoting: GuestTried it on AMD Mesa: I can see the loading screen but then the whole computer freezes and I have to restart. Can't wait for playing it sometime!
Interesting. Can you open a Mesa bug about it please?

Also, developers can simplify this stuff, and offer versions from their own site (for example just binaries, where you can get assets from GOG). Virtual Programming did that for beta versions of the Witcher 2 for Linux.
