I've been trying to play Amnesia: Rebirth. The game has not run well. There's a lot of texture flickering, particular in outdoor areas. And the game crashes often. I created a Mesa Bug report: Mesa Bug Report
The Mesa Bug report also has some screenshots and I uploaded some save files.
I was able to play through most of the game, but I think I'm at the last location, and the crashing has gotten really bad. So I gave up after I made the bug report. But it seemed like the Dev who looked into it couldn't recreate the issue.
I tried it again a few days ago since I've had some kernel updates and Mesa updates, and the game is even worse now. I can't even load into the gameplay anymore. After I load my save file, the level loads, and instead of going to the gameplay, I'll get a multicolor screen and then it drops me into the OS login screen, or I have to do a hard reset.
I remember playing the game shortly after it came out for a couple hours and didn't have any problems. I was thinking of doing some more testing, maybe trying another distro.
But I figured I'd ask here first. Maybe someone who has the game can see if they can load it up. In the Mesa Bug report, I uploaded some save files that were in some problematic areas. I can provide a save file for the last area I'm in that is even worse, if needed.
Anybody else have issues with Amnesia: Rebirth?

I tried Proton previously, and it has the same result (texture artifacts/flickering and crashing) as native.
I should also point out that I have not had other games do not give me similar problems. Every other game I've played has run just fine.

This does sound like a either a regression or, less likely, one of the game updates introducing some issue.

This solution seems to work so far. The flickering is gone and no crashes so far but some textures on the ground are missing, so that it looks like you are flying over the ground. I can "fix" this by set the "Terrain Quality" to "low".
This is the native version of the game from GOG and I launch it through lutris.
I will try it later with the windows version and proton.

Thanks for confirming. That's sort of what I remember. I bought the game, and it sat in my backlog for years. I remember testing it for about an hour when I first got it, and I don't remember any issues back then. Unfortunately, I don't remember what version of Mint I was on, what kernel or what version of Mesa.
When I get some free time I'll try and update the bug report.
However, if you want to do some detective work and find out when the game last worked I suggest trying liveUSB (from late 2021 or early 2022?). The kind with a persistent overlay so you can install stuff. Then mount your system disk with the game on it and try it.
