2 months ago I investigated this issue (another user reported the same issue on Ch.8).
It's a problem with our mod - you can fix it by:
- Deleting the .mp4 file under
Higurashi When They Cry Modded\HigurashiEp01_Data\StreamingAssets\movies\mv01.mp4. This will force the game to play the.ogvfile instead. - Open the game folder (via steam), then navigate to HigurashiEp08_Data\Managed, then overwrite the existing
Assembly-CSharp.dllfile with this one: Assembly-CSharp_onikakushi_ch1_fix_proton_video_2024-08-23.zip - Wait until I do a proper release which fixes this issue, then update the mod
However, this "fix" makes the game use the linux/macOS video playback method, and I noticed the video playback is pretty choppy. But that was how it was before this bug was introduced anyway.
I think this issue affects ch.1-8, so you'll probably encounter it on the next chapter too.
Fixed by:
After following the recommended method of using Proton to run Higurashi due to issues from the Native Linux version on Steam Deck, the game runs awesome! The only problem though is that for whatever reason, the opening just does not play at all. I have tried both the Enabled flag and the Launch + In Game flag on the mod menu but the opening does not play on start up nor after the opening scene. I have tested it on both the latest Proton version (9.0-2) and Experimental but both do not solve the issue at all. While it may be an issue on all of the games (and I haven't checked yet if it affects all the games), I am putting it here since I am experiencing it on Onikakushi.
