Metro last light redux crashing

I strongly assume that it must be an amdgpu/radeonsi related issue, since i have never encountered this issue on the proprietary nvidia drivers, with everything in the system being identical except the video card. the issue also sometimes causes web browser tabs in the background to crash.

the game crashes after only 5 to 10 seconds when on lower graphics settings. the steam fps counter disappears at the start of the second image freeze as well. when the image freezes, the music also stops playing. The loading screen appears regularly, then hangs for a moment, then displays correctly again for half a second and then shows a static image again for maybe 15 to 20 seconds, after which the game closes to desktop. the bug effectively stops me from progressing in the story. from my testing the crash does not occur randomly throughout the game, but only when loading these levels, which is reproducible every time. The issue i'm encountering in both metro redux games is that it crashes when loading specific levels, such as 'the enemy of my enemy' (metro: last light redux) and 'dungeon' (metro 2033 redux) levels. Hi! this is my first bug report, so forgive me if i'm doing something wrong or don't give sufficient info :) mesa: 20.1.0-devel (mesa-git from standard pamac package manager).gpu: radeon r9 390 (also rx 580 8gb and r5 integrated gpu).
