Game Client, Ubuntu 16, and amd64 microcode

Just updated to Ubuntu 16.04, they ditched the old AMD GPU driver "fglrx" for what seems to be a more solid and collaborative piece of code. Alas the game is unplayable. Any thoughts?

 

Works (just) for me on my AMD laptop with 16.04 (it's below the minimum specs, so I was never expecting high performance). You need to grab a PPA with up to date Mesa and AMD drivers which will also update your LLVM. The popular ones are Oibaf and xorg-edgers. I think I'm using Oibaf, I'll check when I boot up at lunchtime and edit/reply.

I've checked and I'm using Oibaf. Also note there is a common issue with Steam runtime compatibility which you may also need to work around.

 

Thanks! will do

 

From the build 471 patch notes:

this cleared it up for me . I guess this "issue" came about coincidentally at the same time I upgraded to Ubuntu 16 resulting in a critical attribution error on my part. All is well
