If you not yet aware new PTE build 66705 game is now compatible with open source drivers and you can install it using Go launcher from this topic: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/streams-pte-and-experimental-builds.58960/ Cursor (possible some other icons, but I didn't notice it) is still corrupted on startup and there is two solutions for this: Use "--software-ui" flag. Use old JavaScript workaround or mod. So I tested game on desktop Intel HD4600 and everything looks fine except SAO a bit weird on zoom. I'm also tried to run game on AMD HD6950 with R600g and get GPU lockup and unfortunately it's not only caused by sun shader, but as well by some of very basic shaders. This most likely driver issue and possible it's not present on RadeonSI. Share your experience there! PS: If any other R600 users have GPU lockup too please comment on this task: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79417

Just tested it on mine i7 4771 with LLVMPipe (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1). With two planets (Moon+Dust) game (800k poly) and high graphics settings I get 3FPS with 720p! There is still some problem with black lines (like one with forced anisotropic filtering) and textures a bit off (wrong colors on moon and metal planets), but everything else working just fine.

As I reported in its thread[1], the PTE launcher is broken. Is there any other way to grab builds in order to test them? [1] https://forums.uberent.com/threads/streams-pte-and-experimental-builds.58960/page-4#post-936370
It's working! And I can move my mouse without the game stalling completely as on the Nvidia binary blob with optirun.
I don't think it's related to open drivers fix. Most likely it's advantage of using SDL or some other update.
It probably isn't related to the open drivers fix, but if I start the game on the internal graphics card the game isn't stalling, while I still have the stalling issue if I start the game with opitrun (i.e. on my discrete GT750M)
Got it. You integrated graphics using open source drivers so yeah game should work on it. I already played multiple games with mine HD4600 and performance is fairly well with everything on low and "virtual texture" on high.
So here is little update from me. First I want to thanks two guys who make me a little happier: @Tachyon on Steam and @irelevant on bugtracker. I feel a bit dumb now because before today I never tried to run actual game on HD6950. So I tried and it's works without GPU lockup while system editor still cause lockup. So few notes about my experience with R600g: As expected sun shader don't work due TSGI failure. There is old glitch of lighting on trees LODs when zoom out. Though it's old R600g-specific issue that not present on Intel. Performance of HD6950 is about 4-5 times higher than with Intel HD4600. So it's something like 5FPS vs 20-25FPS and difference probably even higher. When I run game on HD6950 with "--software-ui" I get better performance. E.g with HW acceleration it's ~21-22FPS while without it it's 26-27FPS. This possible because HW Coherent keeps running on Intel HD, but I not sure if I right. My 1GB HD6950 affected by VRAM limit so I can't use "High / Middle" while iGPU can handle it just fine. Just spectated game with 5 planets and it'w working well enough: 5 scale earth planet with 2 (1?) scale moon. And 3 small independent planets of scale 1: one more moon and two lava. I got ~20FPS average so it's totally playable. When I'll have more time I'll compare it with Catalyst. PS: Sun shader partially work with LLVM shader compiler (R600_DEBUG=llvm): Unfortunately everything else is broken with this shader compiler. E.g features missing and starting of constuction will freeze GPU.
Spend some time on digging and updated my Linux issues list: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/810938082193900075/ Posted number of few bugs on bugtracker for easier tracking: PA#3605 - GPU lockup / Xorg freeze on Radeon / R600 driver PA#3606 - Instanced planet features lighting flickering on Radeon / R600g / HD6950 PA#3607 - Ambient occlusion glitch on Intel HD4600 / i965 Reported this one on Intel driver bugtracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80018 PA#3608 - No way to bypass SDL_GL_CreateContext failed if only OpenGL 3.1 supported. Obviously none of them actual game bugs, but it's still important to track driver issues.
So today I'm successfully finish investigation on Linux version support for Intel Sandy Bridge integrated graphics and other OpenGL 3.1 only hardware. Thanks to Ilia Mirkin and other guys on #dri-devel IRC who helped me. You can find for extra details there: http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=3608 http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/540744934330840109/ So it's now possible to run game on Linux open source drivers with support for OpenGL 3.1 only using one time shaders change and GDB script; you can find both on bug tracker. Also @jorgenpt said if everything will work fine one of next updates will switch to minimal requirement of OpenGL 3.1 on Linux. I'm tested it on my Intel HD3000 laptop, but this also should work for RadeonSI users who lack OpenGL 3.2 without LLVM 3.5 which isn't yet released and not yet included in any of current distributions.
Please, can you help me? Please i bought Dead Island game on Steam (using linux) and game wont run so i follow your threat and i want to install supported drivers. How can i do it? What is Go Launcher and papatcher??? It ask me for password and username, and i dont know what next.. :/ Please how to run that game on my Ubuntu machine? How to install supported drivers? I getting error "Fatal error: SDL_GL_CreateContext failed: Could not create GL context" in terminal THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY.
