Have someone an idea what is causing this?

Try with
+r_renderapi 1
in the launch options. This will make it run using Vulkan. To run in OpenGL with AMD you will need to be using the latest Mesa to get compat profiles.

Thanks lok1, that works perfectly for me :)

Sorry for the late reply, it seems you have to use this source to get the required mesa version:

Now that this is fixed all i get is a black screen... Guess its time to dig up the logs again.

Firstly, on Linux with AMD GPU launch it only in Vulkan.

Secondly, remove Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable in your prefix and install THIS PARTICULAR ONE:
