Description

RetroAchievements with badges enabled causes crash when trying to view your achievement list

Expected behavior

For it to not crash.

Actual behavior

If badges are disabled, they can be viewed okay. If a game has less than a certain amount (<70ish) achievements and badges are enabled, they can be viewed once, but viewing them again will cause a crash.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Play any game with achievements enabled, and achievement badges enabled.
  2. View the achievement list.
  3. Experience it crashing, otherwise go back a level.
  4. View the achievement list again, and witness the crash.
Bisect Results

This has always been a problem on Xbox One/Series consoles.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on an Xbox One/Series console with RetroAchievements and achievement badges enabled, then inspect the achievement-list entry point. Done means the achievement list can be opened repeatedly without crashing, including for games with fewer than about 70 achievements.
