Xenoblade Chronicles 3 refusing to boot using Eden emulator.

[amonadoboy456]

After communicating with the Eden team, it seems the issue is caused moltenVK. We're unable to determine a reason why it would be crashing.

Eden crash log:

eden log.txt

MVK_CONFIG_DEBUG=1 MVK_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL=4 MVK_CONFIG_TRACE_VULKAN_CALLS=1 MVK_CONFIG_LOG_ACTIVITY_PERFORMANCE_INLINE=1 MVK_CONFIG_SYNCHRONOUS_QUEUE_SUBMITS=1 VK_LOADER_DEBUG=all /Applications/eden.app/Contents/MacOS/eden 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/eden_full_log.txt

Here is the log from running the above command in terminal.

Do you have any additional information on how this determination was made? The crashed thread here has no MoltenVK in the trace (and the shader recompile process doesn't seem to involve MoltenVK calls at all). It looks like a bug freeing a bad pointer in the emulator's code:
