I am on Linux, NixOS specifically, sorry.

When in game with any number of players (in game or hideout), pressing the grave key (tilde on QWERY layout, I am on Croatian QWERTZ) would crash the game and Steam. Do note that this does not occour when I freshly open the game into the hideout alone, it only happens if at any point of the game being open I was with other players.
This key is not bound to anything, neither in Deadlock nor is it my Steam PTT key. When pressing grave/tilde the in game console outputs "[SoundSystem] Opened Audio Input Device" before crashing.

Attached is the terminal output of Steam opening and launching Deadlock, then crashing through this method. It includes Steam crash IDs.

The beauty of NixOS comes in here because this should thereoetically be perfectly reproducible. The following is my flake configuration, specifically the commit at the time of these crashes: 6e06f54.

Same issue here I tried to disable the key with adding a noSymbol to this key but it still seems to be triggered and I disabled voice chat.I still get the issue. Any solutions to your issue by now Zedorfska ?
I'm on Debian 13 with KDE and running the game with proton GE in steam.
