A friend of mine installed Ubuntu to play the non-cross-platfo=
rm game Total
War: Warhammer with me.
Unfortunately he had issues with black empty spaces where textures should b=
e.
But it worked for me without any issues with RadeonSI(RX 480).
Then I recommended adding the Padoka PPA and to update the system.
That was a big fail. As a reward he also got heavy flickering additionally.=
He
also mentioned weird colors where the black missing textures were before wi=
th
activated graphics options.
So I would like to report mainly that the current version seems to be worse
than the one delivered with Ubuntu, at least for this particular game.
He can't really provide further help and I can't access the system in any w=
ay.
But I hope that an r600 developer who owns such GPU could hopefully have a =
look
in the issue.
His System:
Ubuntu 17.10
Intel Core i5 2500
AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GiB
16 GiB RAM
Thanks anyway to whoever reads this - these GPUs might be old but such
occurrences don't make a good impression at all to people who are trying out
Linux.
