Please note that more people report crashing on radeonsi after some time of
playing:

This is with "Failed to allocate" errors.

For me personally, NS2 didn't even start on older Mesa (mmap failed), now it
starts, but as people report, seems to crash after some time. I personally
never played that long (because loading the shaders takes an eternity).

I'd guess this is simply the game running out of 32bit space, and Mesa drivers
being more memory hungry than proprietary drivers. The devs had OOM problems
even with nvidia drivers in the past and had to cut down on memory usage. They
said they can't even add more skins because they're that close to the RAM
limit. They are working on a 64bit version of the game, which should hopefully
fix all this.
