In Unigine benchmarks like Tropics, there are basic textures missing and flickering is everywhere on shadows.. I can record a video to show you an example.libtxc_dxtn-32bit

All this patent problems seem to hang here since around 2011, so 3 years! And the last info I could find was that people aren't even sure the s3tc patent is valid or who owns it atm (HTC or AMD) so... well... something has to be done about this.
Could somebody from AMD (I'm looking into your direction bridgman) please share some insights on this?
