If you can reproduce again then a Wine/Proton log would be appreciated.

attached. it expands to be quite large (~450MB); I can shrink debug flags if desired.
Does experimental work? The dxvk used in proton-11 is quite old.
Also there's a million d3dcompiler warnings, probably worth checking if native d3dcompiler works. No idea if it wants _43 or _47 or some other version of that library though.
FWIW Proton's dxvk builds don't have debug symbols, which makes figuring out where the crash happens kind of hard just from the stack trace, but it seems to be inside some sort of SetShaderResources call, which kind of implies use-after-free bugs in the game. Apitrace might actually be helpful here.
2.7.1-498. I tested on experimental (which comes with 3.0.2-5) and confirmed the crash still occursd3dcompiler_47 and both the crash and a graphical glitch I was trying to figure out where to file an issue for appear to be resolved - I can't reproduce either anymoreI'll work on getting apitrace functional for a more detailed log.
If the issues were solved with native d3dcompiler then you should report it at the Wine (or Proton) tracker. It is one of the libraries they ship.
Understood, thanks and sorry for wasting your time!
It's probably still useful to try and capture a trace with the broken d3dcompiler (just setting it to builtin should work), might still help narrow down the problem.
Also I'll take this kind of problem over all the recent low-effort LLM spam any day of the week
DCS Standalone (not steam) Crash To Desktop. This was just while flying in a pre-made mission included with the game. It contains nothing special and I was not doing anything noteworthy when the crash occurred.
Software information
DCS World. Settings mostly on Ultra graphics.

Please let me know if you need/want additional information. I can try to reproduce if the apitrace magic is more helpful than the stacktrace provided in the DCS log.
