Thanks guys!

I finally had time to compile Mesa from git and the game is rendering correctly now. The shader link errors disappeared too so I guess the problem really was insufficient shader buffers.

Quoting: linuxjacquesWhy does the Steam page say only "single player?"

I assume multiplayer / LAN is supported with this updated version?

The game seems to have no problem finding servers with active players.

(Of course I was too afraid to actually join any of those in case the players should turn out to be poor ghosts from 1999. Forever worrying about the upcoming Y2K... their only solace listening to When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating over and over again...)

Just a quick warning; broken graphics on Mesa 20.1.8/radeonsi. No foliage, rocks or trees, spectators are just black unmoving blocks.

I think this is caused by the heavy use of compute shaders, which might be fixed by this:

Maybe someone using a current 20.2-rc can confirm? The demo should be enough to reproduce the bug:

Quoting: illwieckzWhat is the distro name and version you use so we may check it for our upcoming release?

I use Debian unstable, so I'm afraid I almost always run the latest versions.

Quoting: scaineI downloaded the torrent, got this:

No idea what to do. Nothing in the wiki either, that I could find. Why is the torrent different from the universal updater? Why are good guy open source game designers so poor at making their games easily accessible? Weird.

I'll try the actual download button. I tend to avoid them if there's a torrent, a I don't like placing load on a free game resource.

The .zip will have the same file structure.

You're supposed to run the game using "./daemon -pakpath /path/to/pkg/" but the game version that's available to download is from 2018 and suffer from bitrot. It seems to depend on an outdated libstdc++.

Love it!

It's proper Group B crowds too, so you'll be picking fingertips from the side mirrors at the end of each stage!

The discount problem is resolved. Tried to buy it yesterday 20%, today the full 30%.

Sigh... I thought I swore off Kickstarter but here we go again. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...

I think the camera position pretty much needs to be top down for you to see enough of the road and plan ahead. You are both driver and co-driver.

QuoteThere are no co-driver instructions or even corner markers - because, by Casu's own admission, it's too much work when you consider localisation further down the line.
