Now that I got more information from load_andre, I think the summary is pretty much this: The bizarre behaviour only happens if:
1. in_mouse is set to either 0 or 3 (which I presume is RawInput).
2. Wipe Effect is set to "Melt".
3. Programmable mice is used.
4. Mouse input is posted *just* before the melt effect starts (meaning the very first tic).

InputProcess gets called in the following event processing code. Then SendNetworkEvent gets called from ZScript code.

I will try making a minimal sample about this later.

The issue has now been found to be mouse-related and SendNetworkEvent-related issue.

Any further ideas?

Edit: The issue only happens on programmable mice, other ones work fine.

Hi, I am affected by the bug. Here are my specs:

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Version 1903, Build 18362)
Processor: Intel i7-4790K CPU
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon R9 280x
Memory: 16GB RAM

Tested Versions: GZDoom 4.3.3 - 4.4.2 & gzdoom-x64-g4.5pre-150-gc3dc84297
LZDoom 3.85

Newly installed, no mods (except PB), no changes to the Doom.ini

The bug is also on my brother's pc. I will submit his specs and crash reports later.

Moving out of the way, with the given info it's hard to say.

This so far only seems to happen with Project Brutality, but this may (or may not) be a serious issue.

So, someone 6 months ago reported having bizarre and weird issues with Project Brutality. The cause was eventually tracked down to my written PDA framework implementation in PB_EventHandler class and GZDoom's melt screen effect. In 4.3.3 it crashes after showing bizarre behaviour, in later versions it crashes immediately.

Unfortunately I (and others in the PB Dev team) got no luck replicating the problem so far, so I am leaving this bug report in case someone gives a clue on what happens. Investigating the crash dumps in the linked GitHub thread may help too. I am reporting this because it seems to be more of a GZDoom bug than PB.
