A Variety Of Unreal Engine 4 Linux Demos Are Now Available

Works great on the latest NVIDIA driver with both the OpenGL 3.2 render path and OpenGL 4. People should just buy real graphics cards...

You mean graphics cards with "real" drivers? Like closed source nvidia-blob? Should you also buy real closed source OS? Hypocrisy much? Driver is just several years old, and already went near OpenGL4.

That's it. Thanks.

Every demo I've tried not a single one runs. I get this error:
Using binned.
4.3.0-0+UE4 7038 3077 379 0
Exiting abnormally (error code: 1)

Any chance you have non-English characters in path to demo?
There was some problem related to it.

Pay attention to the header of the window, then compare GLSL version to that of driver. We ain't fully OpenGL4.x yet.

Unreal Engine 4 use OpenGL 3.2 renderer by default.
There is OpenGL 4.x renderer, but it's have to be activated manually.

And yeah this TGSI error completely unrelated to GLSL version support, it's shader complication backend error.
Unfortunately default R600 shader compiler fail to compile many complicated shaders and LLVM backend is incomplete.

PS: This doesn't change fact that UE4 still have bugs that make it incompatible with Mesa, but this TGSI error is completely unrelated.

Realistic rendering

I would like to play a game full of graphics like in the Realistic rendering demo.

Pretty impressive

These demos runs great on my GTX 750Ti.
Looking forward to an actual game

Phoronix: A Variety Of Unreal Engine 4 Linux Demos Are Now Available

Linux developers and fans of Unreal Engine 4 have started offering compiled builds of several UE4 tech demos and some simple games for 64-bit Linux...

Nice demos Have run a few of them on my A10-7850k and they are very nice! Nice to see that they run without problems on catalyst

Well, I get some rendering issues on R600 with the Effects Cave Demo :

The console gets flooded with :

EE r600_shader.c:157 r600_pipe_shader_create - translation from TGSI failed !
EE r600_state_common.c:750 r600_shader_select - Failed to build shader variant (type=1) -1
