AMD Catalyst 15.9 is about to be released, and I imagine it will make a few people quite happy with their progress.

AMD did seem to make strides with the 15.7, with a fair few people reporting much better performance in a few different games, and it looks like 15.9 will continue this trend.

Issues
[419960]: Vari-Bright on some configurations is not decreasing brightness as expected
[425912] Alien: Isolation - Blank screen or corruption observed on the main menu in game

Cheers reddit.

A funny bug fix is the renaming of the Counter-Strike: GO executable (to hl2_linux), which resulted in much better performance. This should no longer be needed.

Also, I do wonder why Alien: Isolation is listed in the Linux release notes, looks like they dropped the ball for whoever is porting it.

It will be available to grab here later. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
