Games broken on Mesa

A list of games currently broken in some way on Mesa drivers.

Please read before editing!

• Please make sure you list the Mesa version used.
• Mesa git, please only put the date and in DD/MM/YY format. This will make it easier to sort the table. (if there's a better way, feel free to discuss it)
• If you don't know the Mesa version, please do not post it as it's not helpful to anyone.
• If the game is broken on multiple versions of Mesa, please use a new entry for each one. Only add data to an existing one if you're using the exact same Mesa version.
• Try to use hyperlinking instead of pasting URLs, it keeps the table neat.
• Only list actual broken games, a game that takes a while start is not broken, for example (that's needing optimization, which is a different topic).
• If you can't find corresponding bug in the Mesa bug tracker, please help developers and yourself, and file one.

Native Games, General Bugs

Game	Bug Link	Notes and workarounds	GPU	Mesa / LLVM Version	Fixed version

Absolute Drift		Graphic corruption upon launching, multiple squares of horizontal lines.	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
AI War: Fleet Command		Black screen, never goes beyond that. Has to be kill -9 to get it to close. No error in terminal.	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
Alchemist's Awakening		Crashes to desktop, if run via terminal gives following, error: cannot initialize uniform typeColor in GLSL 1.10 (GLSL 1.20 required), error: array constructors forbidden in GLSL 1.10 (GLSL 1.20 or GLSL ES 3.00 required), error: initializer of uniform variable `typeColor' must be a constant expression	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
Anomaly Warzone Earth		Used to have infinite mission loading, now it doesn't start at all and GNOME freezes (but the game can be killed from a VT and desktop works again). Might be a game bug according to a steam thread which links to this steam post.	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
Battleblock Theatre		May be a game bug. Does not start on official released version. On Steam there is a beta branch that fixes it. You have to contact support to get a code for this, as it is not allowed to be shared :( Support page	AMD RX 480, AMD HD 6870	5/01/17 / llvm 3.9
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare		Freezes on the main screen, almost immediately After the new Steam update that prefers host libraries, the problem is gone (game runs). Note: Confirmed. Works fine with Mesa 17.0 (LLVM 3.9.1) on RX480	AMD R9 270, Fedora 25	mesa 13.0.2 / llvm 3.8.0	Mesa 17.0.0 / LLVM 3.9.1

Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition	#93551	LD_PRELOAD hook workaround.	AMD RX 480, radeonsi	All

Master of Orion (2016)		menu has a Red and Blue solid color with radeonsi and nvidia propr. on X. On Wayland flickering fixed by disabling AA in the configuration file.	all git	10/01/17

Rust	#99413	Hands are green(fixed), grass and trees neon pink green and blue. The weird colors disappear if we start the game from command line instead of via steam gui (still requires steam open for the drm). Mesa bug track report that game is started in steam with opengl compatibility profile, so that options need to be removed	All
Saint's Row 3 / 4		Very low framerate in outside areas, especially while driving. Runs fine in most indoor areas.	RX 480 & R7 360	mesa 17.0.0-dev / llvm 5.0-git	Mesa 17.1
Screencheat		Freezes often in the main menu (not always). The sound continues to run. (might be this bug). Note: Works fine with Mesa 17.0 (LLVM 3.9.1) on RX480	AMD R9 270, Fedora 25	mesa 13.0.2 / llvm 3.8.0

Stellaris	#98974
Strike Suit Zero	#76484
Sublevel Zero	Game FAQ	Developers don't really support Linux and specially not Mesa, probably application side. Uses Unity. See also "Graphics glitches with volumetric lighting on Linux+Mesa+RadeonSI".

Trine 3	#100426	Loads for a long time	AMD RX480	Mesa 17.1.0-devel / llvm 3.9.1
Tyranny		crash Note: Fixed with Mesa 17.0		mesa 13.1.0	mesa 17.0

Also some textures are completely black every now and then	Intel HD 7950, Arch	mesa 13.0.3
X-Plane 10 / 11	Steam forum	The game needs the following Steam launch parameters in order to run with radeonsi: %command% --force_run --no_fbos	AMD RX 480	5/01/17 / llvm 3.9
X3: Terran Conflict		Runs slowly when a lot of text is rendered on screen mesa bisect good description of issue	Any AMD Mesa graphics configuration after commit 07c65b85ea	After commit 07c65b85ea
Mount & Blade: Warband		Hangs on "screen-changes" from menus to the game and the other way round (map and fights <-> menu/dialog). ALT-TAB out and in again fixes it. Also, stuttering in the 3d/map mode sometimes - workaround: save the game (!?)	AMD RX460	mesa 17.0.1 / lvvm 3.9.1
Valhalla Hills	#100400	Crashes directly after starting "./ValhallaHills-Linux-Shipping': free(): invalid pointer"	AMD RX 480	mesa 17.04-2 / llvm 4.0.0-1
