Failed to create valid graphics context: please ensure you meet the minimum requirements
E.g. OpenGL core profile 3.2 or later for OpenGL Core renderer

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 ./Faeria.x86_64 works (playable), but with texture glitches and slower performance (when steam is off - crashes upon some actions). Those are minimum version requirements to run Faeria. They do not match with the official Faeria SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS at http://store.steampowered.com/app/397060/.

The issue with older MESA_GLSL were shaders (fragment evaluation shader, vertex shader), throwing 0:1(10): error: GLSL 1.50 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ES

Update: After 04/11/17 Faeria update, in-game performance is no longer an issue.
