Summary0005674: Pointless error message about graphics drivers
Description103.0.1-1226-g0f10be0

I just got the following error message.

>You are using an open-source (Mesa / Gallium) Graphics card driver, which may not work well with the Spring engine. If you experience problems, switch to proprietary drier or try "spring --safemode".

I got it while loading a replay. It don't mean anything because I am running Zero-K on ultra setting on the (Mesa / Gallium) drivers. Please save warning messages for errors or it will be impossible to trouble shoot properly because people will jump to the wrong conclusion.
Additional InformationThe problems I were having before were from not using the CPU rending driver which is written by VMware which is the default driver. I fixed that by running `Xorg -configure` initialize a new xorg.conf and loading a new Graphics stack with the GPU driver and a bleeding edge version of Mesa. A warning about running the CPU renderer would be useful because it is a problem for Springrts.

Message was removed in 103.0.1-1185-gbfbf9d6/ -

so I can't see how it's possible that you get it in 103.0.1-1226-g0f10be0

infolog?

probably because it was an older replay triggering an older build to be downloaded.

Oflameo: save your clueless speculation for someone who cares.
