Quoting: GuestBefore anyone gets the wrong ideas, it seems very likely that the "open source drivers" being referred to by google is very likely amdvlk. Not radv. This is probably because of direct support from AMD, and that radeon gpu profiler works with it (something that will be crucial to developing something like Stadia).

This kind of backend setup is exactly what AMD was targetting with their open source driver efforts too. Having amdgpu directly available in-kernel is highly attractive for Google, rather than relying on an externally controlled, proprietary, kernel module.

(cheers for the updates Liam, and cheers that I don't have to sift through the videos to find out all this info!)

Setting up and managing nvidia gpus for virtual machines is also more complex than amd ones, since they don't use standards like SR-IOV

Quoting: EhvisI wasn't actually expecting this one. Release would be almost two years after the original, which is a bit on the late side.

Yep, I also thought thought we wouldn't get a Linux port seeing the little post-launch support it has gotten. I bought it and it works pretty well with proton.

Hopefully Dirt Rally 2.0 won't take this long

Quoting: unduJust tried it, in-game UI is still garbled on Mesa's AMD drivers.

And all support tells me is to use the proprietary drivers. :/

I tried PA (non-titans) a few days back (with Mesa), everything was garbage in-game,but the UI was working fine in the main menu.

The old fix was adding --software-ui to the launch options. it might be worth it to try spoofing another GPU brand as well (maybe there are some unneeded workarounds for Mesa that cause issues, it wouldn't be the first time).

If I use that option I get an almost black screen: only the chat is visible.

The aesthetics are on point: looks like a supercool, pixel-perfect winamp skin of the late nineties.
