Deadfall Adventures Is Out For Linux, AMD Users Beware

[birdstream]

Did everyone else started downloading this game now? It started out fast but now suddenly im getting crappy dl speed :P

The game works on my Mobility Radeon HD 3650 on the r600

In other words:
* The announcement warns about fglrx (driver issues) and intel chipsets (not enough ram)
* Michael rewrites this to warn "AMD users".

*sigh*

Don't hit me when there will be bugs.

Bought it and now DL:ing.. fingers crossed

Since we've got you here...

Do you happen to know which GL version/features/extensions are required?

I'm mostly trying to figure out if it'd work on the OSS radeon drivers (because Catalyst is silly). Is GL 3.1 sufficient, or are there 4.0 features that are needed?

And well, I guess if the r600g/radeonsi drivers are missing required features, there'll be a bug report on dri-devel/mesa-dev in the next few hours, anyway.

The game works on my Mobility Radeon HD 3650 on the r600, so you should be fine. We're targeting OpenGL 2.1 + the following extensions:

"GL_ARB_depth_texture",
"GL_ARB_framebuffer_object",
"GL_ARB_instanced_arrays",
"GL_ARB_map_buffer_range",
"GL_ARB_occlusion_query",
"GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object",
"GL_ARB_shader_texture_lod",
"GL_ARB_texture_float",
"GL_ARB_texture_rectangle",
"GL_ARB_texture_rg",
"GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil",
"GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc",
"GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic",
"GL_EXT_texture_sRGB",

Mind you that some distros may need to install an additional package to support S3TC.

No opt-in is necessary. The beta is the mainline in the Linux package.

Ok, thx for the info

The article title is pretty awesome, if rather confusing.

Well, I'm the porter and it works for me.

Really??
Well, nuff said then!

I suppose i just need to buy the game and then in game config opt in for beta and i should be able to dl and install?
