Symptoms

The game is playable, but there are two minor issues:

  1. intro logo splash screen does not play, just a black screen is displayed and you have to press enter to continue. (Also most likely the couple of unlockable extras trailer videos will probably not work either.)

  2. The game does not exit gracefully, exiting the game there is an error message window that appears saying "Fatal Error!"

Another game for issue #1464, the videos are: MPEG-4, AVC+AAC
In the logs I see mentions about mfplat.dll and amongst the game files there is a WindowsMoviePlayer.uplugin file

Compatibility Report Update

System Information

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700

  • Kernel version: 5.16.19-201.fsync.fc35.x86_64

The game now exits without the error message :tada:

The only issue remaining that I see is that the intro/logo video showing a test pattern. I have completed the game on Proton and as far as I remember there was no other broken videos in the game.

Closing this issue as everything appears to be working now (tested with Proton 7.0-2), including the intro videos.
