Hi, This patch adds a new driconf option override_glsl_version for launching ARK games without the MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE hack which should be only for developers.
This sounds redundant with force_glsl_version but that one is only for shaders that lack an explicit #version line. while this one will change the version of the core context. And this is especially useful for returning the version requested by the given app and not a more recent version. This option is for the ARK games which "explicitely" [1] require a 3.2 context, and fail if the version is > 3.2. Presumably, "ShellShock Live" [2] will also need but I don't have that game yet (though I will be able to test in the next few days). Although some users know how to launch the ARK games with that envvar, I think it would be really much better to be able to launch them "natively". And "ARK: Survival Evolved" is one of the most played game... [3] I'm open to any suggestions if you don't really like this option. Comments are welcome! Thaknks.
