Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Quarry
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1577120

System Information

  • GPU: RX 7900 GRE
  • Video driver version: Mesa 25.0.7
  • Kernel version: 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64
  • Link to full system information report: systeminfo.txt

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

The game has graphical glitches if SSAO is enabled. There is light or dark blotches flickering like this:

and also sometimes what looks like some texture flickering.

Disabling SSAO in the settings the game appears to be rendered correctly.

I noticed several reports on ProtonDB mentioning graphical glitches and various workarounds. I tried forcing DX11, Vulkan and LLVM but it made no difference. Only turning off SSAO fixes the issue

Maybe this is a Mesa driver issue, however I did see some reports on ProtonDB from Nvidia users too.

Reproduction

  • Start the game and make sure SSAO is enabled
  • Pay attention to the character models, the glitches are more noticeable during some light conditions (they were more noticeable in chapter 2)

Played the earlier parts of the game and didn't see these specks. Can you share a save file for chapter 2?

AAwesamLinux 2025-06-12 github

Sure here is a save file:
TheQuarry.zip

It goes into
/steamapps/compatdata/1577120/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/

At the main menu select:
Chapter Select > Single Player > The Game Complete file > Chapter 2

After loading it up it will bring you to this scene:

Notice the glitches on Emmas shirt 00:23 onwards

@AwesamLinux no issues here with my rdna2 card. Given the fact that you have issues with this and post trauma (which launches fine for me), can you try and see if a newer mesa version has the same issues for you?

Thanks for testing it out. I tried with most recent Mesa git (Mesa 25.2.0-devel) and that seems to have fixed the graphical issues.

So I'm closing this issue as it was a driver issue, including the logs here of running the game successfully just in case for future reference:
steam-1577120-experimental-bleeding-edge-10.0.log
steam-1577120-proton-9.0-4f.log
systeminfo.txt

(I also got Post Trauma working, but that issue was caused by a corrupt file)
