The Linux version of Tomb Raider 2013 has been updated with some Linux specific fixes and improvements. A summary of the major changes are listed below.

• Fixed SSAA Corruption in game menus by using GL_ARB_stencil_texturing when available (GL 4.3)
  
• Fix intermittent hangs due to thread size
  
• Fix crash with using VPN
  
• Fix audio on setups with only ALSA
  
• Fixed audio issue with opening video when playing in certain languages
  
• Use GL_ARB_base_instance (GL 4.1) with GL_ARB_vertex_attrib_binding (GL 4.2) when available to lighten load in driver
  
• Updated compiler to GCC 5.3 for general CPU improvement, especially on AMD CPUs
  
• Improve utilisation of GL_ARB_buffer_storage (GL 4.3) and GL_ARB_direct_state_access (GL 4.4) for performance, especially on Mesa AMD
  
• Assorted other performance patches

Make sure you play the game as well as benchmarking, the benchmark is not always a good example of the experience in level. This patch targets frame rate drops in particular so although the peak FPS might only increase a little in the benchmark the experience when running around in game should be markedly smoother for affected users.

Great work, Feral! Looking forward to play Rise of the Tomb Raider on Linux ;-)

I haven't used the Benchmark. I visited some of the campfires of areas which have very low FPS for me (i.e. Shanty Town, Coast Camp). And as I said, the FPS are slightly better now.

I also experiance now some micro stutters when I look around, I haven't had those stutters before. Tried to fix it by deleting the shader cache, but it won't help.

Thanks Feral! I am happy to see Linux is getting some love :-)

Very nice knowing about all those gl extensions. Especially VAB, buffer storage and DSA.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ .... Now in my R9 380 (AMDGPU) on ULTRA -> mostly 1080@60 O_O (it was before on medium hard to read 60fps)

Now the only thing i miss is 64bit support ;D

на ubu14.04 как не запускалась, так и не запускается...
просто закрывается после заставки с леопардом

Wich distro do you use for be able to use AMDGPU with R9 390 ? oO

For do that i need to Downgrade to Xorg 1.15 but Steam doesn't start (Archlinux) (Due to GLX Extension unsupported)

Amdgpu-pro installs drivers for version xorg 1.15-1.18 and a link to one of those versions. By default the link points to 1.15-compatible files. You should change the link to point to your xorg version.
