They've done pretty good job with the initial bring up for navi
all I have left on my 5700XT is the Rise of the Tomb Raider hard crash and this font corruption in Overwatch https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111248
good on all the mesa devs

Why does it need environment variable, is it still unstable?

I have no idea how that stuff works so forgive me if those are very stupid questions.

Since the article mentions Mesa and features, been using Mesa with the ACO patches for the past week and Hitman 2 has been playing great with it and Proton 4.2 & 4.2-based TKG builds. With my 580 I notice next to no shader compile lag at the start of levels and it's really smooth almost all the time. RADV and AMDVLK are also smooth once all the shaders are generated, but the lag when shader generation occurs is very noticeable and at minimal annoying, at maximum game breaking. I haven't seen the point in running a benchmark yet...it looks and plays great so I've been playing my game
Hopefully ACO will be added to Mesa in the form of an environment variable &/or per game profile at the driver level.
Oh, I've only really played KSP and Hitman 2 this week and they both played perfect; fired up Kingdom Come to test that Proton 4.11 controller issue I've had with Hitman 2 (Kingdom Come seemed to work fine but didn't like anything set over high in the graphics settings; don't want to say more than that since I only button mashed the first conversation and walked around that shack ).
Now I'm curious if KSP + DXVK + ACO works or "feels" better than Linux KSP with OpenGL.

Radeon Vulkan Driver Now Supports Wave32 Support For More Shaders
Phoronix: Radeon Vulkan Driver Now Supports Wave32 Support For More Shaders
Earlier this week the Mesa Radeon Vulkan driver "RADV" added support for Wave32 with compute shaders on the new Navi graphics processors. That RADV Wave32 support has now been extended for more shader types...
