League of legends games will not start, bugsplat

Question

I'm trying to run League of Legends on Ubuntu 14.04 using Play on Linux.

I followed this guide to install it. I'm now using Amd's proprietary drivers (got an HD5770 graphics card if that matters). I installed the drivers using Ubuntu's additional drivers program.

It starts up fine, patches fine, logs in fine, I can create/join a game lobby etc. But when a game starts, no fullscreen window pops up, it's just a little wine icon on my dock, clicking it or switching windows doesn't work. After about a minute, I get a bugsplat error.

When running the game with the open-source amd drivers, the game does start up, but the performance is bad, that's why I'm trying to install the proprietary drivers.

Edit: if you're downvoting me, please tell me why. Are you missing information? Am I in the wrong place?

Has the game worked for you before? Are the people that wrote the guide using proprietary drivers like you? — John Scott, Jul 09 '14 at 02:34
The game used to work on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation. I did not use proprietary drivers, but the performance was terrible. I also just found out that open-source drivers work on 14.04 too, however as with 12.04, performance is horrendous. So the problem lies at the proprietary driver. — Azeirah, Jul 09 '14 at 02:36
If you remember the wine version that was last working with it, try using that again. — prusswan, Jul 09 '14 at 03:04
@prusswan I think the problem lies with amd's proprietary driver, in this current installation LoL runs if I use the standard open-source drivers, but not when I switch to the proprietary amd one. — Azeirah, Jul 09 '14 at 03:06
