--- Comment #16 from Adam Bolte abolte@systemsaviour.com --- Just tested Far Cry Primal with Wine 2.8 Staging (clean install through Uplay without winetricks, cracks, etc. - although was installed on an older version of Wine), and it now launches.
I was using the MaxVersionGL reg key with the latest git Mesa. In game graphics were a total mess and the game is completely unplayable as is, but the menus are all rendering correctly and are very snappy. At least it's not crashing now.
