Rambo FMVs weirdness #14

Open SeongGino opened 10 months ago

As part of my testing games on an Arch-based system (as followed in #6), I did manage to get Rambo working.

Seems though that the FMVs behave strangely, and presumably it's because this is one of the few games that inter-splices pre-rendered videos in the middle of gameplay (I'm just making an assumption here).

The attract video seems to work fine, as does the intro sequence to the first stage - but the intermissions mid-stage (after the first half of the trench sequence, mid-stage-boss battle and post-boss victory result) only show the first frame of the video; subtitles will still appear/disappear as they're meant to (image 1).

After finishing the first stage boss, after the victory video screen appears, the following FMV stalls along with the audio entirely, then the game crashes.

Full startup log here. As mentioned, may have to do with #6 again (me using Arch when lindbergh-loader is built for Ubuntu LTS 22) so I'll have to reinvestigate this with an Ubuntu setup/distrobox setup at a later point. Thought it should be noted regardless.

I was able to test in a Distrobox instance of Ubuntu 22.04, and the behavior is a bit different. The midgame FMVs that froze on the Arch host did play in Ubuntu, but at a far too fast framerate--eventually leading to the pre-boss-finisher video playing, then crashing before it could return to gameplay.
