Here's a game crash from when I finally got all the way into the game while playing: https://gist.github.com/6e734b352fa5114bc1d72d21ced3a596 proton-6.3-2 with launch options

Symptoms

The game will freeze and crash during launch, while the splash screens are displayed, when you click on the "press any key" prompt to get to the main menu or at the main menu, while not pushing any buttons and obviously during actual gameplay.

Reproduction

• Launch your game with Proton 5.0 (most stable) or latest.
• If you survive the splash screens, then left-click on "press any key" to play.
• Nothing runs with 5.13 on my system.

The only way that I've even been able to pass the splash screens and come to the main menu and start playing (before it crashes again) is with these launch options: env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 taskset -c 0 %command% I also tried to disable esync among a few other tricks without any improvement.

Also it doesn't matter if I run the game in a window or fullscreen, but Proton 5.0 seems to be the most stable, when I use the above mentioned launch options, but it will continuously crash during gameplay.

Hello @Raklodder, it looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.

Possible line of interest from the Proton 6.3-2 log - fixme:mfplat:mediatype_GetRepresentation 08F17824, {aed4ab2d-7326-43cb-9464-c879cab9c43d}, 0084F674. which is immediately followed by an access violation (c0000005) and the game dies with wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 00000000 at address 10098653 (thread 0110), starting debugger...

(in short: install xact from winetricks)

There is major regression in Proton 10 for this game. In the last version of Proton 9 it's capable of displaying the videos correctly. With Proton 10, it display just a white screen (the sound is there). You don't have to go far into the game since there is one such video just when loading the main menu and if you start a new game there is also one (it just display text but it's actually a video).

Hello @Nyamiou, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

• Video showing working videos with Proton 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc-7HMYDITs
• Video showing broken videos with Proton 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoUzMVMKHrI

The reproduction steps are shown in the video except for the launcher, but it's just launching the game, pressing Start Game on the launcher and you get one broken intro video at the beginning and then you can press START and get another broken video. The game is NSFW, but you have to play the game a while to get something even slightly suggestive, the videos here are SFW.
