    I think I got the same error, since about two weeks ago.
    I guess it's a problem with the current Mesa, because OilRush was working before on the OS drivers.

          The requirements clearly state

          "Proprietary AMD or NVIDIA video drivers"

          With my previous NVidia 9600 and the proprietary driver Oil Rush was so-so playable (on moderate settings). I can only imagine the pace at which it "runs" with the OS drivers.

            Can you test unigine heaven benchmark and unigine sanctuary?

            Sanctuary works for me, but heaven...

            Latest radeon in mesa git for me...

            I guess you use open source radeon too?

            Maybe it's because of the optimization of mesa, because lib32 mesa + wine has a problem for some people with -O2 too but not with -O1... I'll try that later.

              Well, sorry to dissapoint you but it actually ran pretty well. Between 15-20fps with low settings at 1920x1080. Since this game is mostly overhead view, that framerate was playable on my hardware.

                Congratulations to the team!

                I realize all the hard work that is behind this release!

                There are already prepared pages at Metacritic waiting to be filled in with reports.

                OilRush is a real-time strategy game based on group control. It offers mechanics of a classical RTS combined with a Tower Wars genre: control the upgrade of production platforms as well as their defence forces, and send battle groups of naval and air units to capture enemy platforms and oil rigs.

                The game looks very good. Yes, I am tempted!

                  I'm anything but a hardcore gamer, but 15 to 20 fps is something I hardly rate as "pretty well". Anyway, YMMV.
                  As a comparison: the NVidia 9600 with nvidia driver turned out 40fps (with occasional slowdowns) at 1920 x 1080 with medium quality settings - that's what I'd call "pretty well" or perhaps "okay".

                    Latest radeon in mesa git for me...
                    That minor opcode is for the GLX_ARB_create_context extension that latest mesa advertises but your X server does not understand. Try with xorg-server 1.11.99.901 or latest git.
