I would like to hear about support for DTXn. (as long as someone
records it for me). Since the patent on this format has expired.
It's now officially part of mesa(17?), and since a large number of bugs
depend on this missing feature. How could we get implement
it quickly?
When I ran into this issue in the past with Call of Duty 2, I was able to play the game (with some graphics glitches) by turning on the driconf setting "Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not available". This setting no longer exists in Mesa 17.3 because S3TC compression is always available. So, I believe that the DTXn bugs will just disappear when you update Mesa.
I know that Wine Staging has a patchset to hack DTXn support directly into Wine. If it were up to me, I would just drop that patchset.
