@Marten Try this for native amdgpu support on Divinity Original Sin:

Worked for me, though I haven’t played it extensively. More interested in DOS2 at the moment.

Another success. I got Skyrim (the original) working. I originally got an error about some old mods I had from Steam Workshop (apparently that doesn’t work) and a message that the game couldn’t find a sound device. I fixed that by running ‘winetricks xact’ with the Proton directory specified as the WINEPREFIX. Now to get mods working…
I’m going to try downloading Skyrim SE overnight and give it a spin tomorrow.
I’m probably the only person who cares, but i tested Rocksmith 2014, without luck.
It just shows a generic error (the game, not steam or linux). So, might be Uplay, might be it requires the specific USB Hardware (Real-Tone Cable) or whatever. Not sure really. Bummer. That’s the last thing keeping me on Windows (only for that, everything else is done on Linux already).
The Fact is, it’s old and niche enough so probably no one cares and chances of it getting any fixes or assistance is 0. Oh well…
I’ll have more time later to test more games. But i’d also like to now wether Linux titles with native Support can be installed that way. Borderlands 2 Performance under Linux has been abysmal for me. Would really like to try it that way.

Quantum Conundrum runs on Unreal Engine 3, launching with -force-opengl prevented the game from launching for me.
Worth a try, though.
E: unless I need to put that somewhere other than the launch options in Steam?
uplay is not working with steam play atm
bioshock, bioshock 2, and both remastered editions are not working along with dark souls III.

What specs are you using? I had Bioshock up and running (look at my post above). My PC is a Core i5-3570K, 16GB DDR3 1600, and a GTX 770. Not exactly a great system current standards, and I do need to upgrade as I was holding off thanks to the price spikes in video cards and RAM. I’m running Mint 19 with the 390.48 Nvidia drivers.
I am installing Bioshock 2 and I will give that a try.

FX-8350, 4GB DDR3, RX 550
you know now that i look at the comparison maybe i shouldn’t be testing games
I also have an i5 2500k with a GTX660 and 8GB or RAM kicking around too, and I tested Steam play on that machine, and had quite a few games up and running on it, including Bioshock 1 as well. It ran slower than my current and slightly less older machine. Is an RX550 really much worse than a GTX 660? 4GB of RAM seems like an issue though.

More importantly what drivers are you using on your AMD card.
i updated them to the latest mesa drivers through the quickstart guide https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_3.7/PREREQS.md
but if you know a better way for me to verify what i have installed i’d love to know - i’m still figuring out linux
Open up a terminal and type in glxinfo perhaps?
There is also a CPU-Z like program called i-nex: http://i-nex.linux.pl/install/
Hi,
I ran testing on DOOM 2016 first thing I saw the announcement.
I have comparison videos to Windows 10 performance on the same machine.
I need to go back and estimate the performance impact but so far it looks and plays great for me.
I ran it on Ubuntu 16.04LTS with AMDGPU-PRO 18.10, Rocm, and Vulkan SDK installed.
Unfortunately OBS will not run with those drivers so the best recording solution I have is Vokoscreen which works o.k. for 1080p 60 Hz, but starts to struggle with the high frame rates I see running Doom on Linux.
Please if anyone feels there is a problem with me posting these videos can you just tell me and I will not post them here or remove them.
System Spec information in the Video Description.
Please note my Youtube Channel is not monetized and I have no intention of doing that. I only use it to upload videos for test cases. I just make this available to help people see how great this really is for Linux Users.
I am determined to get away from Windows 10, and I think as many people as possible should do so if they can.
By helping gaming move away from Windows 10 we will do so much more than just allow people to game on Linux.
It will help move more people off Windows 10 which I think is important for many reasons.
Here are the videos:

Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNSPUKRnB4
Video 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hC0nbgp0Pk
Next I will move on to look at performance on Fedora Server with KDE gui and see if I can get some other titles working not in the whitelist.
Bye.
i-nex doesn’t want to install, but glxinfo says i’m on the latest mesa drivers.
i think.
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4What distro and kernel are you using?
ubuntu 18.04
linux 4.15.0-32-generic
But why ? Even AMD don’t recommend the use of this outside of corporate/workstation and that is just to support non gaming functions. Is your hardware not supported on AMDGPU or do you need this for work purposes.
So.
I have 7870 and with amdgpu driver and oibaf or padoka almost all games crash my system.
Even running Heaven benchmark with OpenGL crashes whole pc. Prime95 stable and Furmark stable on Linux and Windows.
7870 on Linux seems to be dead if the AMDGPU-PRO does not help.
Seems like the only thing for me is to swap to Nvidia counterpart so that i can have a driver that does not crash with almost every single game.
It’s a shame as with Windows this 7870 is still a beast. Especially when overclocked.
If someone can recommend me something that i can try from the ground up then by all means tell me. I can try different distros etc. on my second hard drive.

I’m basically running the same thing. Though I am using Linux Mint 19, but it is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am using the 4.15.0-32-generic kernel as well.
I think the i-Nex installation link I sent you is outdated and their PPA is dead?
Maybe you could grab one of the DEB packages here?:
https://launchpad.net/~i-nex-development-team/+archive/ubuntu/daily/+packages
I am using a 16.04.1 64bit package for i-nex and it works fine.

still won’t work, but i’m fairly confident the drivers installed properly. the games that do work run fine. it’s probably just my specs, so i’ll hold off on testing anything until my 16GB stick comes in on tuesday. thanks for all your help friendo
