Symptoms

The application works well with Wine-Staging or Wine-TKG.

Under Proton, it crashes with:

wine: Unhandled page fault on execute access to 0000000000000000 at address 0000000000000000 (thread 0024), starting debugger...

Reproduction

  1. Download Minion from https://minion.mmoui.com/?download
  2. Run the installer with Steam Proton. It works and lets you install the application.
  3. Now try starting the application.
  4. Instant crash with null pointer. This doesn't happen when using Wine-Staging or Wine-TKG instead.

Chances are that this crash is something that affects a ton of applications under Proton. Since this null-pointer bug doesn't exist in Wine-Staging or Wine-TKG. Some emulated Windows API is returning a null-pointer under Proton.
