Bug #8246

Game immediately crashes on CachyOS Linux when DLC Killers snuff a Boon totem

Status:	Under Investigation
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	Anonymous on October 27, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.2
Actual Result:	Game immediately crashes for the player with no recovery
Expected Result:	Game does not crash + The Slasher/The Judgement/The Terrifier snuffs the Boon totem
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Multiple runs were conducted, so I'll provide a batch of logs. All of these should contain the moment where the crash was observed. Happens regardless of the lobby (custom/public/event/etc.).

Steps to Reproduce

Be specifically on CachyOS Linux
Select any compatibility tool
Play a match of Dead by Daylight
Snuff out a Boon totem that a survivor has placed as The Slasher/The Judgement/The Terrifier
Alternatively, be in a match as a survivor while The Slasher/The Judgement/The Terrifier snuffs out a Boon totem
