Symptoms:

• Game will not play cutscenes, goes to a black screen.
• The game DOES run if it doesn't have to play the scenes. I have a save file that I'm able to load in to and play without issue. However, if I start a new game which has an intro cutscene, it will black screen and I'm not able to skip the scene. Force quit is the only way to exit the game.

Reproduction

• Start game and select empty save file from the save file menu.

Edit: Removed crash mention as it is no longer unique to this issue.

Hello @ZVak18, it looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.

In my case the proton package for blasphemous has empty file list (empty folder). I have checked different download regions to confirm that.

Hello @ariva07, it looks like this game has a linux_beta branch and this is the expected behavior for games with a closed beta for a platform. You can tell the game to use Proton in the per-game options.

FWIW: annoyingly, the game also does this for the ending cutscene, making actually finishing the game impossible (notably you don't get the achievement). I'll try linux_beta, currently on proton 4.11 w/ Media Foundation installed.
