ATI + Linux

surak · 08-24-2007, 03:30 PM

Due to the known problems with Linux ATI drivers, we have updated the launcher to disable shader support if an ATI card is detected.

This will remain this way until drivers are fixed. Sadly, we can only wait.

Game should work know for ATI users without safe-mode.

Regards.

Cool!

btw: it worked for me since the last updates, too.
Will we have any graphical disadvantages now?

haha, sorry for my humor but that kinda ruined it

on behalf of all the ati users in my clan I'd like to say thanks for disabling it

. Hmm are you able to disable this in the cfg?

But what about those that have a more current card with the more halfway decent divers, the problems appear to be with the older cards, and older drivers, I'd think someone with an x1900xt with the current drivers would have better luck then someone trying to run an older pre "x" series card or those trying to run it on the IGPs like the xPress200?

Also didn't someone say that they actually got decent preformance from the recent release of Mesa 3D driver 7.0.1 the older cards, I hadn't really followed this project so I don't know much of it's progress yet, just something I read here.

So is this an off by defaullt but something you can opt into should the card be wrking right by having to do no more the hit a checkbox?

We must do a little more research, but for now, I prefer everyone can play the game without crashing

Yes that's good.
I got one question. (I have ATI X550)
Is it only a personal impression that regnum seems to run more fluently since the last client-update or is it possible that it's like this? It feels more fluently but the FPS remain the same if i remember it correctly.

This is not the first time I hear that... I guess some of the minor engine optimizations are starting to be noticed

Thanks, keep up the good work!
