Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Void
  • Steam AppID of the game: 37000

System Information

(Note: none of this is particularly relevant to the bug, because this occurs regardless of system or Proton/WINE version)

  • GPU: RX 560 X
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 20.2.6
  • Kernel version: 5.9
  • Proton version: Any

I confirm:

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

Symptoms

The game appears to work perfectly until you get to the second sister's chamber. No matter what, upon walking through the room, the game will crash to desktop. This happens regardless of settings, regardless of hardware, regardless of Proton version, regardless of vanilla WINE version, etc. It has also been reported about at WineHQ over the years, but it seems like either nobody can figure out why this is occurring or there's no active work being done to remedy it.

On the WineHQ page, reports have listed "Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x1953eb7" as the relevant error message connected to this issue.

Reproduction

Install The Void, play until you reach the second sister's chambers, and walk through the room. Use any Proton or WINE version you'd like, on any hardware you have, and you'll see the same crash to desktop result.
