Played a lot, but the game is a bit too hard for me.
I tried to also play it in Linux with Steam Proton, but it doesn't go well, as shown below. The EConvertError is always different and seems random, like it's picking up garbage memory, but the line it happens on is always the same.
Code:3/13/2020 - 22:33:05 v 15 An unhandled exception occurred at $0047F476 : EConvertError : "\00l\00\00\00dll\00o\00w\00s\00P\00o\00w\00e\00r\00s\00h\00e\00l\00l\00\\00v\001\00.\000\00\00\00\00\00\00\00X/\E0 \00\00\00USE\pipe\svcctl\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00" is an invalid integer $0047F476 $004E2BEB line 949 of sound.pas $004E344E line 1173 of sound.pas $004E3A03 line 1385 of sound.pas $00460F32 line 28658 of savage.pas 3/29/2020 - 13:33:13 v 16 An unhandled exception occurred at $0047FA66 : EConvertError : "" is an invalid integer $0047FA66 $004E320B line 949 of sound.pas $004E3A6E line 1173 of sound.pas $004E4023 line 1385 of sound.pas $00461522 line 28793 of savage.pas

Hey, I've sent you the log. If you don't use Linux then no need to look into it. Since Proton/Wine is basically a windows emulator it might be that they have a bug too. Was worth trying, since I switch between windows and linux a lot.
One thing that annoys me about the game, and I'm not sure if that is by design, is that you'll be swallowed by the void sometimes when beeing close to it, even without going into it. Though I'd quit playing it, but I try here and there So I recorded this, and it turns out it happens sometimes when you're touching the edge even a bit, which a lot of times doesn't swallow you into the void.

I haven't tried this game yet so I'm not exactly sure of what you are talking about. But based on what you say I think it might depend on the way colission detection is being handled.
So I recommend that next time you pay a litle more atention to ship rotation for when this occurs. Perhaps colision box for the ship needs a tad bit of adjustment.
Thanks for the log, and sorry for the delay!
Ok, I was able to roughly localize the problem, but I cannot get closer without trial and error. If I ever have Linux on my PC then I know what to do at least.
When it comes to the void you have to pay attention to the nearby edge of the red-blue halo. As soon as the center of your ship crosses that line your are void fodder.
One other thing, I've reached save point 3, got the achievement for it, yet I need to start again from level 4 instead of level 6. And sometimes starting the game under windows will give an error "no appropriate audio device available". Here's the log file.
