Looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.
A line of interest from the log:
fixme:mfplat:mfsource_CreatePresentationDescriptor (0000000005217050)->(0000000005219B38): stub
Can confirm this is still an issue in 2025 :( Although on linux mint debian edition im not getting to a black screen, it just pops up (eventually) this error.
@Always-Self-Hosted I checked on an amd and nvidia computer and the game launched fine on proton 9/10/exp, the last comments on protondb also mention that the game is working for them.
Can you give more information about your setup? Also go to the game's launch parameters and add the following: PROTON_LOG=1 %command%. This will create a text file in your home folder called steam-728240.log after you run the game, upload it here.
PROTON_LOG=1x1 2025-09
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
steam-728240.log
Symptoms
Game starts to a black screen. There is no sound. The Steam overlay works.
Reproduction
Happens every time. I already tried different versions of proton and wine through Lutris. Disabling DXVK or esync does not help either.
