Symptoms

Starting the game produces a black screen that will be pushed into the background by an error message box containing the following message nDShowServer::PlayFile(): could not render file 'Z:/opt/steam/SteamApps/steamapps/common/Drakensang/export/data/movies/intro16_9.mpg'.

Hitting the OK button brings up another error message box titled Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library with the following content:

Runtime Error!
Program Z:\opt...

This application has requested the Runtime to
terminate it in an unusual way.

After hitting OK on that box, the game shuts down.

Simply try to start Drakensang.

The Wine AppDB page suggests starting the game with -novideo as a workaround.

The hint from @whizse works for me and the game starts and is playable.

These look like some lines of interest from the log:
err:quartz:GetClassMediaFile Media class not found
fixme:quartz:MPEGSplitter_query_accept MPEG-1 system streams not yet supported.

It works for fine for me using Proton Experimental on Flatpak/Fedora (even without -novideo). Is this still an issue for you?
