I found solution, there is problem with cpu affinity set for 1 core by default.

Solution (for dev) is create script, run game and run script

script

#!/bin/bash

pid="x"

while [[ "$pid" == "x" ]]; do
    pid=`pidof JadeEmpire.exe`
done

mask="x"

while [[ "$mask" == "x" ]]; do
    mask=`taskset -p "$pid" | grep "mask: 1"`
done

taskset -p 4 "$pid"

Hello Valve Team,
I bought and installed this game today, just one bug to report (for the moment):
cinematics do not play correctly, look at this screenshots:

I can reproduce this bug with Proton default (do not force a proton version) , with Proton experimental and Proton Fix.

The cinematics playing correctly (aspect/ratio) with Proton 5.0-10.

Hello @legluondunet, there's no such thing as "Proton default." At some point you selected a Proton version in the Steam Play section of Steam's global settings.

There's years of changes between Proton 5.0 and Proton Experimental. Are you able to determine the oldest Proton release which is affected by the regression you're seeing?

More details/tests:

I can reproduce this bug with this Proton version :
Experimental
7.0-5
6.3-8
5.13-6

Cinematics playing rightly with Proton 5.0-10 and 4.11-13

If I set Proton version to "Experimental" and inactivate DXVK with: "PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1", the cinematics playing correctly, but the game has a very slow fps, it's unplayable.

This a screenshot of a cinematic took with Proton Experimental and DXVK active:

This is a screenshot of the same cinematic took with Proton Experimental and DXVK inactive:

Do you need more tests/infos?

@legluondunet It looks like the dxvk folks fixed this one and closed the issue. Right now, the fix will only be in experimental bleeding-edge, but the next regular experimental release should also have the fix.

good news, I will wait and try with next Proton Experimental release. Thanks to all people involved!

Llegluondunet 2023-05-08 github

just tested with Proton experimental, the cinematics played nicely, bravo!
