Mesa 26.2.5 has been released today as the fifth minor update to the latest Mesa 26.2 stable series, bringing various improvements to the NVK, Freedreno, RADV, RadeonSI, Zink, ANV, PVR, and PanVK drivers.

On the AMD stack, RADV and RadeonSI got the most attention in Mesa 26.2.5, improving ray-tracing reliability by addressing black patches, texture artifacts, and load-dependent crashes. Moreover, the AMD stack saw a floating-point precision fix specifically targeting the No Man’s Sky video game when using the RADV Vulkan driver, along with fixes for mesh shader state tracking issues, a race condition in the AMD kernel interface, and ray-tracing data structure alignment for GFX12 hardware.
