Symptoms

Cut-scenes won't play. Game-play seems fine from what I tested, but soon as a cut-scene plays, it goes black. You can skip the black screen as a skip icon appears in the top right corner.

I have tried Proton 8.0-4, experimental and GE Proton: 8-22

Reproduction

Start and play the game on Linux. Some have said it works fine on Steam Deck and some say it works on GE Proton, other than that not much to go on.

Symptoms

Game works fine but Cutscenes do not play but only show TV rainbow lines with the captions of the cutscenes if proton experimental is used or a blackscreen with nothing on it if custom GE Proton is used, you can skip the cutscenes in both cases and the game resumes as normal but the game is story heavy, and the cutscenes is what puts the game's story together.

Reproduction

• play the game normally until sally (the player) finishes distributing the flyers, after the first cutscene it'll either be a blackscreen or a rainbow lines similar to what you find on non working channels on a TV, the cutscene would not play but of course it can be skipped. (I suspect all cutscenes are affected but I only played until that part to come to that conclusion, I also assume it could be a codec problem but I'm not sure)

oh, so it has been reported before, my bad

Maybe it should be mentioned that on the Steam Deck, no matter if using the beta or stable branch, with Proton 8.0-5 the cutscenes just work. I can confirm though that even on my Arch desktop with Proton 8.0-5 I also just get a black screen, a newer Proton version does not make a difference or results in the shown rainbow/test/placeholder image. So whatever the Steam Deck implements differently, it does not seem to come down to Proton directly.

Looking into the game's .pak file, the game seems to serve either an mp4 or webm depending on whether one plays this game on a Steam Deck or similar handheld with the 800p resolution or not. So the Steam Deck does not implement anything special, it just seems Proton/Wine currently does not support whatever the mp4 file uses in codec or container features. I attached a mediainfo output of each file:

• GYLT_INTRO.mp4 mediainfo output
• GYLT_INTRO.webm mediainfo output

@SunRed @Ace120C The steam deck lets games know about it in case developers want to change things like default configuration to better suit the steam deck, and the game is using that to determine what videos to use. For the time being you can use SteamDeck=1 %command% in your desktop to get the webm videos, though note that this game forces gamepad prompts when it detects the steam deck.

Holy smokes that worked! I can actually see the cut-scenes and play the game properly now. Thank you! I'll put this on proton DB so others can see it.

[Ace120C]

I tried it on my end too! It works, thank you so much
