Unigine OilRush Officially Ships Today For Linux

[Soul_keeper]

impressed

I just tried it at 2048x1536 medium details no AA and was getting around 20fps
not bad for a llano system considering that the unigine heaven benchmark gets like 4fps at this res.

It looks fun, but I can tell there is a bit of a learning curve to the game play.
Definitely something that could kill some hours

[xpander]

must be masochist to play this with opensource drivers.
works fine with prop nvidia drivers (290.10) perf is really good. all maxed and constantly 75 fps. (gtx 560Ti)
game however not so interesting.
just bought it to support them for making linux client.

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.

Oh, ok. Thanks, I will.

[Kakarott]

I'd like to check before buy, is there a demo?

Not right now. But it will come.

Updating to 1.11.99.901 doesn't help, it's a known bug:

That was resolved real quick: NOTOURBUG :-(
I really don't like what Unigine is doing with the OpenGL spec... And this is not the first time. There is another known bug when GL_ARB_draw_instanced is used, I did report this "gl_InstanceID" problem to them back in 08 April 2011 and it still isn't fixed.
http://oilrush-game.com/forum/index....nced-properly/
They just don't care.

And now there is a talk about breaking GL compliance in mesa in order for Unigine to run!!!
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ry/018140.html
WTF? This is not the way its done, this could set a really bad precedent for all. Instead we need to put some pressure on Unigine corp to fix this.

[smitty3268]

Well, this will be fixed without breaking spec once we get GLSL 1.4 (GL 3.1)

If I'm understanding everything correctly. Hopefully that's ready in Mesa 8.1

Unigine just fix your game

Ian Romanick is a Software Engineer in Intel's Open Source Technology Center. He is also one of Intel?s representatives to the OpenGL ARB. For the past 8 years he has been working very diligently to make OpenGL on Linux better. He has been doing graphics programming for 18 years, having released his first Amiga demo in 1991. Ian holds a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Portland State University. In his spare time, he teaches graphics programming in the Visual and Game Development program at the Art Institute of Portland.

Ian Romanick: The game is just broken. It check the client extension string (returned by
glXGetClientString(dpy, GLX_EXTENSIONS)) instead of the list of extensions that
are actually available for use (returned by glXQueryExtensionsString).

Unigine, fix your game.
