Now I just have to wait for it to hit the Arch repos and I can get myself some of that Mad Max goodness.

Guest, @kaprikawn

I am on Arch, Radeon RX480, Mesa 17.0.5 (+RADV), Kernel 4.10, and MadMax vulkan works like a charm. up to 100++ FPS at High Settings, 1080p. I actually enabled VSYNC to avoid having the GPU fans screaming and getting Smooth 60 FPS (occasional drops when crossing maps boundaries).
The above is on a i5 6600K stock clock

I am actually eager to get Kernel 4.11 for the TTM optimizations that seem to boost RADV too.

Cheers
G.

It's not an issue, but rather by design. If you have low number of posts, I'm pretty sure you get auto-moderated.
