I’m trying to switch back since detroit become human doesnt work at all with mesa-git sadly

You need to also add a vulkan driver for your GPU at the same time. Probably vulkan-intel

Try:

sudo pacman -Syu mesa vulkan-intel

That’s your usual stack to roll back to mesa release on intel:

pacman -S mesa vulkan-mesa-layers vulkan-intel opencl-mesa vulkan-mesa-device-select

Nice.

That said, I was interested in Detroit Become Human too. Luckily they have a demo. I have clocked hundreds of hours on my Intel card in a few dozen games. I had one game with graphical glitches and one that just outright refuses to run during that time.

The game that was a complete no-go was Detroit. So same experience here.

detroit is by far not a perfect experience on intel, the water/rain textures look super bright blue and randomly it freezes usually at the start of new levels but not all the time or random times and CPU gets maxed out randomly

9

For me it was immediately crashing after the game menu screen. But that was a few moons ago. So apparently you got further than me. Let me check again…

10

you will need to have anv_assume_full_subgroups=32 %command% in the steam launch options to get rid of black squares over everything

11

Still an insta-crash when starting after the game-menu here, even with that parameter.

Maybe I’ll test on mesa-stable tomorrow. If I get a different result somehow I’ll ping back.
