Bug #: 43896
Summary: Mesa assembly breaks Super Meat Boy, Shank
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Mesa
Version: 7.11
Platform: Other
URL: http://www.humblebundle.com/
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Mesa core
AssignedTo: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: s...@whiz.se
The games Super Meat Boy and Shank from The Humble Indie Bundle does not work
correctly when the assembler optimizations in Mesa is used.
Super Meat Boy will either give an error "MojoShader compile failed" or
segfault. Shank runs, but does not render correctly or, using git master, will
segfault on start.
All of these problems go away if Mesa is compiled with the --disable-asm flag.
Both the error message from the game and the backtraces from the segfaults
point to the games themselves so I'm not sure if this is Mesa exposing a bug in
the games or the other way around. I did however notice that Fedora explicitly
makes use of the flag to turn the assembly off with this comment "i do not have
words for how much the assembly dispatch code infuriates me".
A bug report for the games is filed here:
