Seems like a driver bug with first-gen GCN? The trace replays fine on my Polaris card.
Seems to happen with navi as well:

On my Polaris card (RX460) the game/apitrace crashes (page fault).

Stack trace is not very useful, please post DXVK logs instead. If you can't even create a device then chances are that Vulkan isn't working on your setup.
It was a weird setup issue with leftover icd files containing old Vulkan version values, causing this issue on any dxvk version >1.5.1.
Sorry.
The apitace and the game work fine on a Polaris card.
Have same issue with mesa 20.3.1 only + DXVK 1.7.3 or DXVK 1.7.2
With GPU AMD Vega 7
The Mesa issue (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3796) has been closed by https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/8835
It appears the very latest AMDVLK (2021.Q1.2 and newer, I think) has a "PadVertexBuffers" option to workaround this issue: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/xgl/blob/88a4f8c5657824f93790eefe3c9e078806c2a768/icd/settings/settings_xgl.json#L512-L523
Nothing extracted yet.
Dead Cells with DX11 renders bugged on DXVK, works fine with vanilla wine.
