Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Is there still a crash issue with the MESA drivers

I have not played the game for a while now but i did come across this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/6j55f4/divinity_original_sin_has_been_broken_on_open/

Is this still true that the bug still persists. If that is the case is there a plan to fix it? Back in the day the open driver was immature (thus makes sense not to support it) but currently the MESA drive is the better performing and default for new AMD cards. And Valve has even dropped the proprietary driver in favor of MESA for SteamOS.

If that still an issue it think it should be settled. It would be a shame to have EE unplayable on the most well supported driver environment on the Linux side.

It is possible to run the game with the latest Mesa drivers, though only the proprietary nvidia and AMD drivers are officially supported.

How to Make Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition Work with Mesa on Linux

[LINUX] How to run the game with the open-source drivers for Radeons

[LINUX] Running the game with Intel Iris Pro 5200

I did not ask for a solution. As i said i finished the game a long time ago (i did not even play on linux at the time). The way to make it work is known.

But it is also a unofficial workaround. A HACK.

It does not constitute a solution and does not really count as supporting the game for the platform since this is recognized as a game bug and not a driver issue.

And although most linux users are skillful enough to try such hacks a deal good of more casual linux users are not.

I know the market share for linux is small, maybe too small to be worth it. And i do understand that the company has naturally other priorities now with the launch of the sequel.

But since Larian is still selling the game for the platform it would be natural to request some basic support for it, basically being able to play the game on the platform without hacks using the drivers that even AMD itself understands as the default consumer drivers.

Do not get me wrong...I have been a Larian fan since the first divinity and i have huge respect for you and understand the difficulty of supporting multiple platforms. But i have also seen how amazing you can be in responding to bug and technical problems even for the random user in the forums. I hope you do the same for the linux user portion of your fanbase, no matter how small it is.

Yes, the bug still persists and none of the proposed fixes works for me. I for one am massively disappointed as I am using the latest Mesa drivers and not only spend money but also about 2 hours of my life trying to fix this mess.
