    Another big step to being feature complete. Good progress considering not many people are working on the driver compared to the teams AMD and Nvidia have.

    I tried to run Doom on radv last week but it failed to even start. I noticed there was a testing branch that David had made to get it working, but I'm not really sure how to even grab it never mind compile it. Hopefully it'll get merged upstream if it hasn't already.

      Are you running wine-staging? I think everything needed for Doom is in Mesa, it's wine that's lacking (from memory)

        Yep, the patches in wine seem to be doing their job. I get a bunch of successful bcrypt messages. But then something fails when the game tries to go full screen. Opengl fails too, so I wasn't sure if the game needs work around to even launch on mesa.

          There is a bug in Doom and developers decided to not workaround it in the driver.

              I'm not sure it's too useful yet. The tessellation Vulkan examples from SaschaWillems do this
              Code:

                Turns out I suck at rebasing patches, I lost two. The branch is updated now and the lost patches are on the list.

                  Ok, I'm in the process of trying to convert over to team Red from team Green after a decade.

                  So, there are 4 different video drivers for a semi-modern (7xxx) card? Is there a good place to find a good comparison of the differences?
