    Thanks guys for the support. Both issues are fixed. The updated game will be available soon. I hope it helps to improve open source driver implementations.

      No. Unigine apps don't use the GLSL preprocessor directive #version, so they are stuck with GLSL 1.1 no matter what. (Anyway I'll try to update them to newer versions and see if anything changes)

        Great, thank you. BTW any chance the demos (Sanctuary, Tropics, Heaven etc...) could be fixed too in next release?

          Why not? If Unigine stuff runs now without crashing on them, it can possibly be used to test driver features etc.

                On the latest open source drivers, Oil Rush gets about 16-20fps on my HD5770. Low settings, but 1920x1080 resolution. I'm sure it would be more than playable at 720p or so.

                  I don't think that 20-25 fps are good for a game. Btw. you can simply change your res to 1280x720 to try it

                    I do not see why people think that playing at massive resolutions in games is such a big deal. Then again, I am writing this from a screen that only does 1280x1024.

                    In my experience, lowering the resolution does have more of an affect on performance than lowering other settings on the free drivers. Probably has something to do with CPU bottlenecks.

                      First of all with a tft you have to use the native res otherwise it is interpolated - thats different from a crt. That does not look good at all, but when you only want to see the impact then you can try it of course. fglrx is much faster for games usually, maybe not for the extreme simple ones michael usally tests that do not even need s3tc/float textures.
