There isn't anything we can do without source.

But here is what I would do in this situation:

1. Look at the assembly at the point of debug break, from here it should give you hints as to why its trying to write to dawn.assets.Resource init array.
2. Dustmite, so we have something we can work with.

I have no idea what does 1. mean, as for 2. do you have a link for a guide how to setup "dustmite"?

Better, can i send you a zip of my project? i'm not sure i'm willing to waste any more time trying to figure out what is wrong

That's is not something i like doing, it should just work, i shouldn't have to debug DMD, that aint my job

Dustmite automatically reduces your code to a minimal example that still exhibits the same problem, good for bug reports that are easily reproducible.  Also useful if you don't want to publicly share the code for whatever reason, but still want to provide enough information so that the dmd devs can find the problem and fix it.

Dustmite can run in the background on a temporary copy of your code, you don't have to babysit it and can work on other things while it's doing its thing.

the problem is not that it can run in the background, the problem is figuring out

1. how to install
2. how to setup
3. how to run

i was initially working on my game, i shouldn't have to take a 1 week break to debug dmd

I haven't used it myself but dustmite seems to be integrated into dub. 'dub dustmite <...>'

Already is.

Comes with dmd and ldc.

You can also just do ``$ dub run digger -- args``.

It is a bit of a pain but the basics is you need some sort of compilation command, list of sources and a test to confirm if it still fails.

When debugging, native debuggers i.e. Visual Studio, will provide you with the disassembly of the function currently being executed. Between this and other entries in the call stack, you can generally figure out what the statement is being executed just by looking at things like call instructions. The symbols there will be accurate.
