Phoronix: Here Is What Happens When Trying To Use Non-NVIDIA Drivers To Play XCOM 2 On Linux

For those eager to play the XCOM 2 strategy game on Linux but curious about using non-NVIDIA graphics, here is the rundown! I just finished some very cursory XCOM 2 Linux tests with different graphics drivers and hardware. Do the Mesa / Gallium3D drivers yet handle XCOM 2?

Looks like this game should be something for the Intel & AMD drivers to target for testing & feature completeness then.

I'm guessing it would work with the AMD proprietary drivers. Alien Isolation does, even though it's officially unsupported.

Will check soon, I hope so.

On my TODO list, juggling a bunch of stuff at moment.

Crash too with the proprietary NVIDIA v361 980 :'-(

This is a documented issue with Nvidia 361 and Aspyr ports: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/t...inux-version-/

Right now it literally only works on Nvidia 355 and 358 (and maybe Catalyst, poorly). Honestly a miracle that we're getting a Linux port on launch day given that it's only supported on such a tiny range of hardware configurations...

[Nille_kungen]

I think it's wrong to blame the driver i think it's rather the port that's bad.
Mesa drivers ain't in such a bad shape as many wants to imply.

Michael,

Sometimes these games crash or otherwise not work properly because the developers (in their infinite wisdom) decided to ship an internal version of glibc. Did you check whether this is the case here?

What is the required OpenGL version? 4.3?
