### Game Environment

I’m using game data from the US Windows Dual-Jewel version of Descent 3 v1.4.

### Description

Sometimes, Descent 3 will encounter an error and try to save a crash dump:

![Unexpected error

Crash dump file written to:
C:\Users\ANONY~1.MOU\AppData\Local\Temp\d3-crash.tmp
You can attach it to a bug report.

OK](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d1fc2943-f270-4958-9614-b045d9119f38)

Unfortunately, when you click on the OK button, it gives you this error:

![Unexpected error

Could not create crash dump file, error code: 20

OK](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/28e7fb77-acce-4613-9032-b43f7a15789a)

### Regression Status

I don't know

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Do something that would cause Descent 3 to crash and produce a crash dump. At the moment, you can do so by trying to reproduce [this issue](https://github.com/DescentDevelopers/Descent3/issues/594).

2. Once the “Unexpected Error” window appears, click “OK”.
