OpenGL multithreading in Mesa is ready for wider testing
11 July 2017 at 6:37 am UTC

Please, don't forget to write to Marek about the wiki and the drirc settings (from the original ML message):

QuoteThe first line of the entry is enough. Please send such lines for games
that get better performance from glthread to maraeo at gmail.com and I will
include them in Mesa with your name on the commit.

OpenGL multithreading in Mesa is ready for wider testing

I haven't tested already (I'm not on MESA git), but can someone try the older Unity3d titles with this patchset? The first game that comes to mind is "The Last Tinker: City of Colors", which performed very poor and was for me completely unplayable.

EDIT: fixed some typos

From the lyrics of song by The Smiths called "There is a light that never goes out":

"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die"

Game in which you die a lot? ...Dark Souls III port confirmed!

Anyone tried Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition? With Wine-staging 2.8 the game starts and works but video are green and graphics are totally missing.

Will this help Shadow Of Mordor too? Actually it's barely playable...

Thanks for all your work and dedication, Mesa devs! <3

There's another 'Life is Strange' on the way

I disliked the game because the gameplay was boring, too much driven and the setting too much cliché to my taste (they sitted in the comfort zone of the uncomfortably). You saw those things in a billion other TV shows or books, nothing was really "new". In my opinion they watched too many "average american teenager" TV shows. But maybe my opinion was influenced only by a cultural problem (I'm Italian, so things here are different, sensibility too).

Lets hope they sort out all the flaws and make a great game, I bet the team has all potential to succeed.

That said, I suggest to whom which liked the game to read the book "Skippy Dies" by Paul Murray

I'm already sold!

Message to the devels: please add a "Sniper" type Mech that can only fire from long distance. Maybe a one that has a shape like two legs and a big cannon over it.
