I wanted to report these long time ago, but I don't want to register in their bugzilla, Why don't they allow unregistered users to post issues?

* I currently use mesa from this ppa. It is only for Ubuntu 15.10. It has OpenGL 4.1 support (as it is built against LLVM 3.8). Mint is based on 15.04? My point is the bug is present there too. But. It is also built with gallium-nine (native Direct 3D 9 support for linux) state tracker. I use gallium-nine enabled Wine and run regnum there (32bit). It has better performance (as it doesn't translate direct3d to opengl anymore) than native linux x86-64 regnum client, more eye candy (direct3d engine for regnum is superior to opengl one). It is actually stable (no crash since using it for few months) and everything is rendered correctly. As there is no translation of direct3d->opengl i believe it is mesa's faulty opengl support, direct3d is just fine.

I have created the bug report. You can leave a comment there, that you too have the issue. The more affected people, the faster it may get attention from developers.

Do you expect the devs of a ${libname} to fix something because
NG3D can't render water?

No. If it is a bug in mesa and not in NG3D, I expect mesa developers to fix the issue. And if they find that it is a bug in NG3D, then we can make proper report to NGD, pointing out the issue and maybe come with a solution. Thanks to the apitrace the mesa developers linked in the bug report, I found (actually the apitrace found) a bug in one of regnum's shaders. Once the servers are back on, I am going to try to fix the shader (it is just one line fix) and if it suddenly starts working, then it is indeed regnum's issue.

Edit: fixing the shader had no effect on this bug (it was FXAA shader)

So the bug was closed, it is not bug in mesa, but in regnum.

Is the shader you modified stored in shaders.ngz? Have you patched the launcher before testing?
