I use lord heavy's mesa-git on Arch and have been playing GRID Autosport with no real issues for the last few weeks. Getting 25-40 fps @ 1080p (medium settings) on my R9 270. Not silky smooth performance, but still very playable.

Sounds great. I have issues with blooming (being... well... way too bloomy) and splitscreen not working properly on my secondary PC (R9 270). Hope the fixes get implemented in oibafs ppa soon...

Does anyone experiences hard hangs with Grid Autosport?
Also can anyone test apitrace on:

I had plenty before I changed to steamos-xpad kernel module. After that no hard crashes at all.

Do you have a XBOX pad attached by any chance their is a known bug with the xpad drivers that can hang the system. The issue was fixed on SteamOS but the fix was not completely accepted in the kernel yet.
If you can contact Feral support we can provide a beta where we disable the xpad force feedback which will avoid the hangs. I don't think the issue is at all related to the mesa drivers.
p.s. I also updated the bug with the relevant inks.

This happens if your mesa drivers are compiled using the older version of LLVM which means your drivers only support OpenGL 3, if you use drivers compiled with the newer version of LLVM you will gain OpenGL 4 support which fixes the bloom.
Split screen support looks to be a mesa bug that is under investigation.
