Hello all,

I got Threes (an Android game) from the Humble Bundle some time ago and I sideloaded it to my Jolla. It was working fairly well in the previous Sailfish OS version (the only exception being crashes when trying to switch on night mode). I've now upgraded to 1.1.2.16, and now the game doesn't work anymore. It starts to load, but then it crashes with a memory allocation failure in kgsl. Specifically, this is what dmesg tells me after the crash:

Is this due to the new memory management in Yliaavanlampi, or is it maybe a video driver issue? (kgsl is part of the GPU driver IIRC, did it get updated in Update 11?) Anything I can do to help identify/solve the issue?
