No one has confirmed smooth Overwatch performance on Linux yet.

I removed my RX460 since it was causing issues with the Radeon drivers, which improved DX11 performance though it still had some stutter. The DXVK version isn’t loading anymore. When I try to start the game, it shows no compatible graphics hardware detected.
Yeah, welcome to the world of running non-standard games in a non-standard way, on a non-standard OS. In other words, you are probably on your own here....
If Windows became a uniform operating system there would likely create significant monopoly and antitrust concerns. This might stem from its reliance on another driver. Review the DXVK FAQ for AMD cards, as you may need to upgrade Mesa to the newest release. Verify which driver you're using by checking MHWD. Also look at the Lutris GitHub overwatch page – the "AMD" section is worth a look. On my 1060 it's operating at 110 fps, which is unusual since the installer isn't even launching. Don't forget to check the Blizzard app documentation as well.
The system reported compatibility details for a VGA controller from AMD/ATI. It listed hardware information and flags, indicating support for certain graphics cards. Installation warnings appeared when trying to run Mesa, but the Blizzard app worked after updates. Dependencies were resolved, though Overwatch continued to have problems.
I replaced the old driver with the new one, restarted the system and encountered black screens. xorg stopped functioning. After logging in via console, I confirmed the AMD GPU driver was active. I needed to install the CLI version of mhwd for Radeon again, which resolved the issue and allowed me to access the GUI once more.
It seems you're checking if the system recognizes your graphics card. The AMD GPU driver should be compatible with your setup. You can switch drivers using mhwd, but Radeon is considered outdated. AMD GPU supports all GCN AMD GPUs, so previous models like the R9 280 worked fine. Ensure the Linux firmware is installed and look for any AMD GPU-related errors in dmesg. If needed, install the firmware via the package manager. For more details, refer to the AMD GPU documentation under Enable Southern Islands and Sea Islands support. You might also adjust kernel parameters in GRUB to disable AMD GPU detection if necessary.
I adjusted the content, following the opposite approach—this kernel setting might be required. I recalled doing something similar before, though it's unusual for Manjaro to handle these defaults automatically. Edited October 12, 2018 by Guest
