Which is one of the major reasons we decided we'd never implement this
extension in Mesa. To test it to the quality levels that we expect, it
would literally take 1,000+ test cases.
As I said in the other thread refusing to implement this extension is
only going to hurt Mesa users and continue the "just use Nvidia if you
want things to work narrative". AMD have also indicated they would be
adding support for this extension in radeonsi. I'm willing to write
tests if they are not up to your quality levels the feel free not to
enable the extension in your driver.
That is not and never has been the metric for landing code in core Mesa.
Which part?
I'm willing to write quality tests. You seem to have made up your mind
that you don't want to enable the extension in your driver. Are you
saying you want to veto other drivers from supporting something?
I'll ask the question I always ask in these situations: Has anyone
bothered talking to the developer?
The game is years old they are not going to rewrite it now just because
it doesn't run on Mesa drivers. The game doesn't even support Linux in
the first place.
The amount of changes required to the game are a pretty far cry from
"rewrite it." Delete checks for silly extensions and replace some
instances of EXT with ARB is rewrite? Give me a break. They may not be
will to do it, but nobody will ever know if nobody asks.
I've contacted every developer I've added dri config work arounds for so
far (or found bugs for). The only company that has actuality fixed
anything is Feral, the No Mans Sky devs said thanks but we wont be
fixing it for Mesa linux drivers, a few indie devs have thanked me and
promised fixes but nothing came of it, everyone else either said there
will be no more game updates or never replied.
