The Talos Principle: Reawakened
Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton 10.1 Beta
My report is specific to the 9070XT GPU and Arch Linux.
Prior to a recent kernel and Mesa update (as of 10/6/25), this game would show major shadow artifacts, with all shadows displaying incorrectly. I suspect other users with this graphics card and older kernal versions and mesa drivers might see the same graphical artifacts.
After today's update, the shadow artifacts seems to have been resolved and the game plays as expected. This is from early level testing so issues might crop up later, but so far running as expected and looking good.
