Native Games, General Bugs

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

ARK: Survival Evolved	#99484	The game renders many flickering red, black and cyan squares all over the world. A temporary fix is to start the game without HyperZ. Note: Expect more render issues, even with fixed drivers. It is somewhat playable though.	AMD RX 480, Ubuntu 17.10	Likely all previous versions	Fixed in git (c4d1a199f8)

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
Civilization VI	#108111	Loading screens have graphical corruption.	Polaris based cards	Regression in LLVM 7	Mesa 18.2.2 commit

Without this workaround only Ryders campaign works properly. According to the commit message, with the full support for ARB_get_program_binary in Mesa the game should now work out of the box.

X-Plane 10	#97909 #98492 #98977	The game needs the following Steam launch parameters in order to run with radeonsi: %command% --force_run --no_fbos At least in the Demo, there are no issues anymore.	various cards	all mesa versions	probably fixed by Game update
X-Plane 11	#97909 #98492 #98977	Game must be run with the following parameter in order to start: "--force_run". Game will crash on starting the tutorial, which cannot be skipped, making the game seem unplayable initially. To work around this, open the plane maker app first, allow it to finish loading and then exit. Then start XPlane. This will trick XPlane into not running the tutorials any more, and you will be able to set up flights manually. Ensure clouds are turned off otherwise the game will immediately crash. You will be unable to launch the tutorials as they all include clouds which cannot be disabled. At least in the Demo, there are no issues anymore.	various cards	all mesa versions	probably fixed by Game update
