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.
• For the list of recently fixed games and issues, see Games with recent fixes in Mesa. Transfer fixed games and issues to that list please.

Native Games, General Bugs

Game	Bug Link	Notes and workarounds	GPU	Mesa / LLVM Version	Fixed version
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
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition	#93551	LD_PRELOAD hook workaround.	AMD RX 480, radeonsi	All

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".
Unreal Tournament 4 0.1.6		changing character models in player options, graphics freezes completely for a while, then displays static with a flickering box on it and either the kernel panics (from radeonsi) or X restarts after a while.

Native Games, Requires Compatibility Context

Game	Bug Link	Notes and workarounds	GPU / Mesa driver	Mesa / LLVM Version	Fixed version
Dear Esther		native port from Humble Bundle
Dead Island Definitive Edition		With OpenGL core profile 4.5 and OpenGL version string 3.0, game opens a pop up saying OpenGL has to be 3.3 at least and it detects 3.0. Launching with MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 fixes it. I tried with override 3.3 and 330 but it didn't work.	HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2)	Mesa 17.2.3
Dying Light	#96449	Game needs MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.4 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=440.	Broken after Mesa ~18	All	Mesa 17.1
Full Bore
Grand Ages: Medieval	#100390	As of Mesa git e7a7b712fe81aac this game should now be playable using MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1COMPAT MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=410	All	All

Non-native (Wine)

Game	Bug Link	Notes and workarounds	GPU / Mesa driver	Mesa / LLVM Version	Fixed version
DIRT 3 & GTA V	#107786	Objects are rendered a lot darker because of broken MSAA under DXVK. Workaround: Set MSAA to OFF	all cards affected
id Tech 5/6		Works with workarounds, might be fixable with a limited CC in Mesa just to make GLEW happy? Starting Wolfenstein TNO/TOB with MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2COMPAT MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 allows the game to start, however the rendering is a psychedelic stripe fest
The Witcher 3	#104193	Hard freezes the system when fighting rotfiends. See also Wine bug #43872 for details. Polaris specific (Vega isn't affected).	AMD RX 480, radeonsi	17.4.0-devel (git-b926da241a)
Various Games	#102885	Sparkle grid in shadows	AMD Radeon R7 Graphics (Carrizo)	17.2

Needs more info, more testing

39 Steps		Black screen, never goes beyond that. Has to be kill -9 to get it to close. No error in terminal. Note: Works for me (same hw, same sw)	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
Absolute Drift		Graphic corruption upon launching, multiple squares of horizontal lines. Note: File data.unity3d is missing in the build, can't start the game	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. Note: Works for me (same hw, same sw)	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
F1 2015	#99813	rendering problems - Feral Note: No render issues seen when using Mesa 13.0.2 (official release) likely git specific issue.	AMD RX 480	??
Magicka 2		Displays graphical artifacts when doing/taking damage (triangles flashing over the characters, definitely when using fire cone) Note: Works with RX480 using mesa 17.1.5 and LLVM 4.0.1 and rx460 mesa 17.1.6 and llvm 4.0.0	AMD R9 270, Fedora 25	mesa 13.0.2 / llvm 3.8.0

Game Bugs

Game	Bug Link	Notes and workarounds	GPU / Mesa driver	Mesa / LLVM Version	Fixed version
Anomaly Warzone Earth		Not a Mesa but a game / steam bug. Fix described here Might need additional Steam fix described here After those two fixes, the game is working fine.	AMD RX 480, Arch Linux	mesa 17.1 / LLVM 4.0.0
Black Mesa	#106394	Lately a game update fixed the requirement of GL_EXT_gpu_shader4. Sadly the game still crashes with "Out of Memory" errors. It is unknown if this is a game or a mesa bug. Workaround: set %command% -dev to the start options and set graphic options to lowest	various cards, all versions are affected
Cossacks 3		Immediately crashes. Note: This game is marked as beta on Linux by the devs and while the game get a little further on Nvidia binary drivers it crashes there too.	AMD RX 460, Solus	mesa 17.2.3 / llvm 5.0.0
Portal Stories: Mel	#96512	character's hands and arms as full black	Intel HD 7850, Fedora 25	09/01/17
