3D Ballpark Creator Crashes Linux

[CBL-Commish]

Running Xubuntu 19.10 with an MSI Gaming Radeon RX 580 8G graphics card. Ryzen 9 3900X processor with 32G DDR4 RAM, on an MSI MEG ACE 570 motherboard.

Game appears to function fine in all aspects, except that when I go to the 3D Ballpark Creator the entire machine locks up. OOTP window with the ballpark rendering has odd, incomplete graphics. Focus randomly, slowly switches between unresponsive windows.

The entire machine becomes unresponsive, other windows are frozen, the only way to regain control is a hard reset.

I've seen other threads with somewhat similar issues pointing towards graphics drivers, but I'm using the latest Radeon open-source drivers. Proprietary drivers are unavailable.

Am I just stuck unable to use the ballpark creator?

Some more information... going into the ballpark editor and playing around with 3D models I get similar crazy graphics artifacts and the game becomes mostly unresponsive. I did get it to finally take clicking on the X to close the whole program and it successfully saved and closed.

Definitely something going on with the overall 3D graphics modeling/rendering/etc.

I tried updating my graphics drivers and ended up temporarily bricking my machine. I had to go into Linux recovery mode, drop to the command line, and mess around for a while until I figured out how to uninstall the new AMD Radeon drivers. Good news is everything is back to normal, bad news is that normal means the ballpark creator still crashes my computer.
