Mesa GL Threading Gets Flipped On For More Linux Games
The mesa_glthread functionality has now been whitelisted for more Linux games.
The Mesa GL threading work is driver-agnostic Mesa OpenGL multi-threading work that can help many games especially on lower-end multi-core CPUs but not all games, as shown by our recent benchmarks.
The latest games now seeing mesa_glthread support enabled include:
- Dreamfall Chapters
- Hitman
- Renowned Explorers: International Society
- Saints Row: The Third
- Sid Meier's: Civilization Beyond Earth
This is in addition to the previously white-listed games of:
- Alien Isolation
- Civilization 6
- BioShock Infinite
- Borderlands 2
- Civilization 5
- The Witcher 2
- American Truck Simulator
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Overlord
- Overlord 2
- Oil Rush
- War Thunder
- Saints Row 2
Those wishing to try out this Mesa GL threading support with other games can manually enable it via the mesa_glthread=true environment variable. These latest whitelists are in Mesa 17.3-dev Git.
