Symptoms

Game crashes at a black screen due to videos not loading. Tried various workarounds (proton-ge, m-youknowwhat, quartz, wmp10 and its codecs) possible to no avail, they only avoid the initial crashing but videos still wont play, making gameplay hard to follow since the game presents various plot points via video scenes.

Reproduction

1. Launch the game
2. Observe the black screen
3. CTD

I tested the game using Proton experimental bleeding edge, Proton 7.0-4 and Proton-GE-7-37. The videos are working, but they are played in a seperate window, are stopped if the game window loses focus, and restarted if the game window regains focus.

System Information:

• GPU: RTX 2070
• Drivers: nvidia 515.76
• Kernel: 6.0.0 (also tested with 5.19)
• Full report: https://gist.github.com/Kaedras/f3338529c214f2112496f270f9697eb4

I've done some more testing using Proton 7.0.4, experimental, and GE-Proton. Installing quartz using protontricks fixes the issue I mentioned before. There are some remaining issues however. The cutscene that plays when starting a new game just shows a static image and there is a weird transparency on the steam overlay. When switching to GE-Proton7-41 the video is displayed correctly, but there is no more sound on any video.

I've attached screenshots of the issues I mentioned and the new Proton log. Additionally, in case this information is of any use, I've updated my nvidia drivers to 525.53

Game silently crashes out on my oled deck when launching on proton Experimental, downgraded to an older version of proton (8.0-5), stopped the crashing, but got stuck on a black screen (An Active movie window tab and the actual game tab) and could not click past it no matter what. I was able to get to the title screen and ingame with proton 5.0-10, but that broke with 5.13-6.

Update, regression has been resolved and it seems to actually progress through the logos and intro fmvs to the title screen now (Sound only, screen is visually black when playing the fmvs till it hits the title.) Was even able to load up my old save from 2017

Update: Same occurs with the first fmv when starting a new game, managed to get past the black screen after a minute.
