Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 20.0.8

I confirm:

[ X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
[ X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Can't upload error log because it's 1.5 GB in size.

Symptoms

SC6 released an update a few hours ago that seems to have broken Linux compatibility, apparently this is happening to multiple people. This thread linked indicates that the issue might be that the patch updated Denuvo and now the game won't run.
