Update: It's out!
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.
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.
