Hostile Waters - Antaeus Rising runs flawlessly on 2.82.5 and previous, and has crash-to-desktop issues rendering the game unplayable on 2.83 and newer. Only certain scenes in the game crash, the most easily testable being the intro cinematic itself.

I have not been able to get debug logging out of dgVoodoo - I see debug messages from the game program itself, but nada from dgVoodoo. This is with recent AMD GPUs (Observed on 9070, reported on 7800XT, I have no idea if this affects other vendors/products as well)

The only thing I've gotten that looks like it might be even remotely helpful is this:
<process started at 05:57:47.616 has terminated with 0xc0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)>

I'm not sure how else I can troubleshoot this?

Thanks for the report, I fixed it. It didn't really work in the expected way in the old version either, but the crash was survived.
I'll include the fix in a patch version for 2.85, which is going to be released.... some day...
