Compatibility Report

  • Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition
  • 211420

System Information

  • Proton version: 3.7.8

Symptoms

  • In-Game videos do not work.
  • Dsfix does not work.

Solutions

  • In-Game videos work with windows media player 9 (wmp9), however I had issues getting it to install on a 64 bit prefix (and therefore problems installing it on proton); it's also possible it requires devenum.
  • DSFix works if 'dinput8' library support is added. (Can be done via winecfg as a workaround)

Besides these two points, the game runs smoothly on appropriate hardware/driver configurations.
