Created attachment 58605 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=58605 Savegame in Velen
System: Ryzen 5 AMD RX 560
Arch Linux Linux 4.11.7 MESA 17.1.4 AMDGPU 1.3.0 wine-staging 2.11
I've had great success playing The Witcher 3 using wine-staging 2.11. I managed to play about ten hours in the area called White Orchard. After moving on to the area called Velen I pretty soon encountered a system freeze that is reproducible every time.
When the freeze happens the in-game music keeps playing. I can sometimes switch to TTY1 but afterwards the system reacts to nothing and the music stops. A hard reset is the only option. A savegame in the area where this happens is attached. Just turn left and run towards the cart. This freezes my system reliably.
