Black screen w/ audio, game freezing permenantly
To anyone who isn't able to play for more than a few minutes without it freezing, I recommend trying the mesa-git AUR package. That, or download mesa from their git here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
If you're also experiencing a black screen, I was unable to enable FSR frame generation without getting a black screen. If you delete the "amd-ffx" folder in the game's directory, you will be able to turn that off. Validating the game files will bring that folder back, and you can use FSR without frame generation.

Later levels suffered heavy lag (fixed by installing amdvlk)

An update from my last report: the later levels (started at level 10) lagged really bad for me. Switching from vulkan-radeon to amdvlk fixed that problem. I also no longer need to compile the beta drivers for mesa, but Arch rolls out drivers faster than other distros, so I'll leave that here just in case.
DEEP ROCK REALLY ROCKS
Please make sure you have proper audio working. I was rushing to try out games and I didn't have pipewire fully set up, and it kept crashing on launch. I tried everything, I was devastated. Then I figured out if the game doesn't detect a proper audio driver for output it will crash. Once you have your audio drivers configured (I recommend pipewire) this game runs like a dream. Rock and Stone!
