[BUG]: Xenosaga 3 crashes on linux

[n00b87]

Describe the Bug

In Xenosaga 3, the game crashes if you go into the "Data" menu on the title screen and exit the menu. It also crashes during the opening during the dialog between the testaments.

I have tried this on both the AppImage and the Flatpak and the same thing happens. I have also tried the latest nightly build (v2.5.220) AppImage and it happens there as well.

Reproduction Steps

1. On the title screen, go into the "Data" menu option.
2. Back out of the menu.
3. The emulator will crash

Also, just start the game and go through the opening cutscene and dialog between the testaments (the guys in the colored hoods). It will crash before you ever get to control anybody.

Here are my PCs stats:
OS: Ubuntu 25.04
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X × 12
RAM: 128 GB DDR4

Also, I have tried this on Wayland and with the GDK_BACKEND=x11 variable set.

Can you upload a savestate before the crash occurs?

It seems to only crashes when you select "Skip" or press the "X" to skip, if you press the Triangle button to close the menu it doesn't crash.

Also, just start the game and go through the opening cutscene and dialog between the testaments (the guys in the colored hoods). It will crash before you ever get to control anybody.

I can't reproduce this crash only the first one with the "Data" menu.

The "Data" menu crashing is caused by this PR: #12919

I made a video showing the crash on the opening cutscene

I press circle after the first dialog and then it just crashes

There was an issue with the game crashing but that was fixed months after version 2.4.0 was released, and you are using that same version 2.4.0, try the version I posted above.
