3D-Tech News Around The Web / Mesa 25.0.3 Released
Last post by Stefan - April 02, 2025, 11:11:31 PM
Mesa 25.0.3 Release Notes / 2025-04-02

Mesa 25.0.3 is a bug fix release which fixes bugs found since the 25.0.2 release.
Mesa 25.0.3 implements the OpenGL 4.6 API, but the version reported by glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 4.6. OpenGL 4.6 is only available if requested at context creation. Compatibility contexts may report a lower version depending on each driver.
Mesa 25.0.3 implements the Vulkan 1.4 API, but the version reported by the apiVersion property of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties struct depends on the particular driver being used

Bug fixes
  • [RADV][RDNA3][Phoenix3][APU] NARAKA: BLADEPOINT (1203220) gpu hang reproducible (ice/water regression mesa 24.1 bisected SAMPLE_MASK_TRACKER_WATERMARK=15) random (maybe other apps/games)
  • GPU hangs running Octopath Traveler II with 780M
  • GPU crash on Radeon 780M with Tales of Arise
  • brw: Hit unreachable nir_op_fsign case that brw_nir_lower_fsign missed
  • The Last of Us - shadows flickering on gfx1201 without nohiz flag
  • anv: Dark pattern overlayed on objects in Eve Online DX11 mode on BMG
  • Mesa 25 removes VA-API encoding for R9 390
  • Video stuttering / anv: extend implicit fencing support
  • anv, bmg: Visual issues in AC Origins, Odyssey and Fenyx Rising when dxvk doesn't export PointSize
  • [ANV][LNL] - A Game About Digging A Hole (3244220) - Title throws an assertion failure on launch.
  • anv/video: Timestamps are exposed in video encode queue, but it crashes
  • Getting a crash with manually built llvmpipe (OpenGL)
  • [RadeonSI] Blender assetshelf icons are borken in mesa >= 25.0.0
  • radeonsi regression after 24.3.4
  • misc OpenGL CTS failures
  • glBindVertexBuffer regression due to ID reuse

Thanks for you reminder, I see errors report in _furmark_log.txt,
(10:44:55)      [Vulkan2] descriptorset (id => 155) - unable to allocate memory - err: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY_KHR (-1000069000).
 (10:44:55)      [Vulkan2] descriptorset (id => 156) - unable to allocate memory - err: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY_KHR (-1000069000).
 (10:44:55)      [Vulkan2] descriptorset (id => 157) - unable to allocate memory - err: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY_KHR (-1000069000).

It looks like there is an OOM issue.

>>>What is your android version? and what is the terminal app you use?
I actually tested the latest Furmark2 on debian12 using Orion O6 (https://radxa.com/products/orion/o6/).
By the way, does the Vulkan ARM version of Furmark2 run well on pi 5?

I can't tell you if there is a bug or not in furmak2 vulkan for arm. But it's really weird because when the furry object is not rendered, the background and the user interface are still rendered.

Do you see error lines in the log file (_furmark_log.txt) ? Related to pipeline layout?

I will check again with the raspberry pi 5.

Never tested furmark2 on a phone. What is your android version? and what is the terminal app you use?

Last post by Kevin.Li - March 27, 2025, 11:27:27 AM
I'm encountering flickering issue when running Vulkan ARM version of Furmark2.

The flickering seems to be due to the Furmark2 only renders first two swapchain images, and nothing is rendered to on the other swapchain images.

Here are the correct and incorrect render result captured by the vulkan screenshoot layer,
Frame 6 (correct frame)
Frame 7 (incorrect frame)

And the vulkan API dump shows that vkCmdBindDescriptorSet and vkCmdPushConstants functions missing in incorrect frame,
Comparison of API dumps between frames 6 and 7

Could you help confirm if there is a bug in the Vulkan ARM version of Furmark2?

Windows driver version 572.91 and Linux driver version 570.123.07 contain newly released Vulkan features and bug fixes for Vulkan developers. These Vulkan beta drivers primarily focus on experimental features and bug fixes for Vulkan developers, and they may lack other fixes found in NVIDIA's general release drivers.
