The game skips all pre-rendered cutscenes. (Edit as it happens regardless of if you're using DXVK or not)

The game skips all pre-rendered cutscenes when run with DXVK.

It skips them no matter what. Even if you run it via PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1.

That might be related to #1464.

Confirming the same bug happening to me.

Possibly valuable info: the game uses H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) video with fourteen 48000Hz MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) channels - one of them is 32 bps, the rest 16 bps.

Updated the OP with an example of a missing pre-render. Somehow I missed this in my initial test. Aside from the pre-renders, everything else appears to work, including 5.1 support when setting SDL_AUDIO_CHANNELS=6.

How are other pre-renders handled?

From different games, well they use different file formats. Hitman 2 and 2016 use WebM if I recall.

Is shipping ffmpeg the solution here?

Perhaps.

Ok, so I came across a guide on getting the cutscenes to work, compiled by Na Moogle on a spyro modding discord I'm a part of. Here's a pastebin of the instructions

@dribbleondo You forgot to include mfplay.dll in your copy and override lists (at least it is required for me :/).

You should attach that as a file here or use a gist. Pastebins delete content after a certain period of time.

It might be a good idea to submit this information to winetricks:

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

If Dan can find a way to get the files from official downloads, then it would become possible to use winetricks via protontricks to do this workaround without much hassle.

I'll submit the workaround to winetricks.

@ryao @dribbleondo Unfortunately, winetricks can't do anything, because of the legal issues (https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1132) we need to find a public source from Microsoft for these dlls.

Literally just about to link that. Yeah, it is a bit of an unfortunate situation it seems.

Would this be of any help? From what i've read, it's used for installing media-related applications (including wmf seemingly) on Windows 10N systems.

Nope, it's a MSU file. I contains files compressed with Microsoft's "Intra-Package Delta" technology, which is yet to be reverse-engineered (as far as I know).

I posted it in the linked issue, but I will say it here too. The necessary files likely could be extracted from a Windows 10 development VM:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines

You can just extract it from Windows 7 or Windows 10 install disk directly, no need for virtual machines. Also, we need Win7 dlls (https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1132#issuecomment-438015780).

You can just extract it from Windows 7 or Windows 10 install disk directly, no need for virtual machines. Also, we need Win7 dlls (Winetricks/winetricks#1132 (comment)).

Have you confirmed that the relevant DLLs can be found on the ISOs? I ask because I recall there being issues finding certain DLLs that are part of a Windows installation on the ISOs in the past. In particular, efforts to find certain cryptographic libraries failed during the recent WoW classic issues. Those issues were later found to be TTL timeout related. They could not be found both as plain files and in various cab archives. Microsoft might be putting some DLLs on their ISOs in an odd way.

Also, does Microsoft provide a Windows 7 install disk ISO that people can download from a script?

DLLs can we extracted from ISO's wim file using wimlib. Sadly there's no way to acquire Windows 7 ISO without providing Microsoft with a valid Win7 key :disappointed:

@gilbsgilbs I'm playing on an Optimus laptop without issues.
But I don't use bumblebee, primusrun, nor the new offloading feature - the iGPU only works for screen output, so that may be the case.

This DLL extraction linked above works for me. Beautiful.

Well, if the issue is that RtwqUnlockWorkQueue and related functions need to be implemented to use the Windows 10 versions, then that is doable. Those are publicly documented API functions. I am familiar with the concept of a work queue from both Linux kernel work queues and OpenSolaris kernel task queues. If I knew which functions were required by Windows 10’s mfplat, I imagine that I could give implementing them a try in time for wine 4.18 (probably not 4.17).

Would someone produce a list of the unimplemented functions that the Windows 10 mfplat requires so that I do not need to inspect Microsoft’s binaries? You could probably use dependency walker to get a list of the functions needed:

http://www.dependencywalker.com/

I am new to contributing to wine. If I implement this and send the patch, I imagine that I would need to have a good answer to questions about whether clean room requirements were violated. Not having a good answer would likely prevent the code from being merged, which would make the effort a waste of time. It would be helpful to separate the work of finding out what is needed from implementing it to ensure that we do not end up with a patch that cannot be merged.

Also, be sure to make sure that the functions used are publicly documented before posting them here. For example:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/rtworkq/nf-rtworkq-rtwqunlockworkqueue

If there are undocumented symbols required, then we would want to ask one of the main wine developers for advice on how to proceed. We would need to ask to be sure, but I should mention that there is a possibility that the person inspecting the binaries to allow for a clean room implementation of these functions so that we can have a workaround added to winetricks might never be allowed to contribute code to this area of wine due to wine’s clean room requirements. Hopefully, someone who doesn’t plan to ever learn C could volunteer to look. I am not comfortable volunteering to implement the entire RTWorkQ.dll API for this at this time, so I would need to know the subset used if I am going to try.

Thanks @kisak-valve to put the reference to my report, it's my first time reporting issues for Proton and i wasn't sure if a new report was needed or continue the already existent

Gamepad on Spyro 2 doesn't properly recognize the Y button on X360 pad contextually to the hovering action or sight-to-shoot action. The same function seems to be "transferred" pressing the right analog stick (but not for the hovering). Also the keyboard is affected, where spacebar and left mouse button doesn't work at all even if reassigned into the game

@emmecii This is unrelated to Proton, as it can be reproduced on Windows.

I have had the same issue. I believe that it is tied to how the game handles cut-scenes. When a cut-scene plays, it can be skipped with a button press (Triangle on PS4, Y on Xbox one, etc.). It depends on the device, but that button is disabled if the cut-scene doesn't play. I suspect this is a flaw in how th game handles input events/states. Remapping on the keyboard works, but people who use controllers are out of luck.

This is problematic because wmf is required to play the cut-scenes. I was able to test this with older versions of Proton and installing wmf fixes the problem.

Has anyone else run into this issue before? Sometimes I get this message. It doesn't always happen though.

LOG:
steam-996580.log

Symptoms

Crash on launch, with "Fatal error!" window pop up.

I can't get this game to detect my gamepad. I've tried Proton 5.0-7, and 5.8-GE-2. I've tried forcing Steam Input on, and also forcing Steam Input off. With Steam Input off, I can get it to at least see my controller and see that I'm pressing inputs--keyboard prompts change to gamepad prompts--but they don't actually do anything at all.

It also asks me to accept the license agreement every time I start it. I don't know if that's related to the fact that I haven't actually started a game yet; I'm not going to without the controller working.

I'm using the Flatpak version of Steam, and MoltenGamepad, but neither of those things stop other games from using controller input. SoulCalibur VI--also on UE4--works just fine.

EDIT: Disabling MoltenGamepad and creating a mapping for my controller in the SDL_CONTROLLERCONFIG env var caused Spyro to be able to read the controller normally. Another game I wanted to play, Super Crush KO, had the same problem and it worked there too.

Thanks @GloriousEggroll . Simply renaming my PFX directory within the compatdata and letting Steam rebuild it did the trick.
There is something interesting that I found though. When I reduce the Fullscreen resolution from native resolution, my second display completely conks out and if I power through it appears the GPU can't handle it and takes out both screens, comes back with artifacts and in one case with green checkerboard artifacts filling both screens.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Change Display mode in Spyro to Fullscreen
2. Lower the resolution in my case from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080.
3. Watch your 2nd monitor go bye-bye.
4. Play the game and watch your computer go bye-bye.

I hope this makes sense to you. In the meantime, I can play the game happily in native, so thank you very much :)

Symptoms

Sometimes after start the game sound crackling. The game had issues to recognize my PS4 controller. Attached to USB and PS4 config disabled in steam it works.

Reproduction

I googled a bit more and found out that the sound issue is by the sample rate. In this case you have to set the default sample rate in the pulse audio config (/etc/pulse) from 44k to 48k. After that only the Activision Video does have a crackling sound and some times a couple after a while of gaming. It looks like it's a down sampling issue.

Additionally I changed the default bitrate from 16bit (s16le) to 24bit (s24le) - because my discrete SoundBlaster X-Fi support it.

Edit: This crash exists on Windows as well. For whatever reason it tries to communicate with Epic Games and crashes. People on Windows edit their hosts alias to prevent this communication or disconnect from the internet.

The game crashes a few minutes after launching the game on Intel Iris Xe.

Game works fine since Proton 6.3. The only issue I've found with both 6.3 and 7.0 is that it doesn't load the localized audio for the cutscenes (only the English one is loaded). The menus are localized normally. I'm going to attach the logs from Proton 7.0.

I encountered this a few months ago. If my memory is correct, I believe that the wine re-implementation of mfplat doesn't yet implement the functions that return attributes for audio streams. So, it can't determine which stream is English, Spanish, French, etc. Obviously, Microsoft's implementation is complete.

I've made a script that lets you select a language:
https://gist.github.com/bnpfeife/323285e11015e04fdb1bcd112af9a86a

Edit:
The script is invoked with the language:
$ ./spyro-fix ENGLISH

For sake of credit, the script is based off of:
https://github.com/dmnct/spyro-fix/blob/main/spyro-fix.sh

@bnpfeife, thank you! However, there was an update, so, the other fix I used stopped working. And your script didn't help when I tried to use it. As in my case, I want the English videos, I hardcoded the line 48:

track=0

Hello, just wanted to pop in and post some anecdotal data that may be of assistance in resolving the wrong language bug:

1. I am also experiencing this bug, but did not as of, I'd like to say, 3 or 4 months ago? I played a few hours of Spyro and did not run into any cinematics with the wrong language then, but today I booted it up and am experiencing it - I'm running Manjaro Linux (rolling release), fully updated, with Proton Experimental. With Proton 7.0-2, I get the same result. With Proton 6.3-8, the game doesn't load. I verified the files, just in case - no change.

2. I can see in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy/Falcon/Content/Movies folder all of the movie files that are present in the game in .mp4 format. The intro video file here is in normal English - perhaps it's not loading these movies, but rather is loading them from another location? Or perhaps it's overlaying dubbed audio over these movie files?

3. The wrong language issue just affects the cinematics, not any of the in-game dialog.

4. As to the actual content of the bug - it seems that starting a save file actually cycles the audio track being played through one of the available dubs. As far as I can understand the languages, it's never the same language twice. One out of the few times I started up a new file, I actually got the English cinematic, once a French cinematic, and a latin language (Spanish? Portuguese?), alongside other languages I didn't immediately recognize. I feel like each time I tried, I got a different language (so it may or may not be random).

5. I checked the save file and config files - I didn't see any data that might indicate which language or audio track to use for cinematic audio.

Here's my log file and system info, in case it helps~

Thank you for testing out my script! It looks like ffmpeg doesn't use 1-indexed streams like I thought. I've updated the gist so it selects the correct track.

PC game controls appear to be bugged, certain keys just don't work properly in-game even though they are detected on the Control Settings when pressing keybinds.

Left Shift doesn't function on the main menu screen for Delete Save Data, even though it's detected in Keybinds.

Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 keyboard controls are unresponsive to set binds. ie; Space to jump, F to Hover/Headbutt, even though detected in keybinds. Spyro 1 seems to see and use some of these controls just fine when set.

Also I notice the cutscenes in Spyro Reignited Trilogy still has issues with playing pre-rendered cutscene video files. I did try using https://codeberg.org/dmnct/spyro-fix to do prerender cutscene fix, but it still doesn't work, and just makes the game skip over them automatically.

Is anyone now having issues getting in the game because if the movies? the game was working a couple days ago and now I am having this issue all of a sudden where with Proton experimental the Activision video will show up in multiple small windows on the top than the game with no sound than will stop responding and be stuck there once it's done.

Log here:
https://gist.github.com/coreybruce/fea8baf9d380dbcb3e9afbf7816fc697

And on proton 7.0-3 the Activision will be full screen but will be blue and will have no sound than will also get stuck there.

Log here:
https://gist.github.com/coreybruce/5aeba8fa760141a053fcdf1c059be656

I verified the game, both proton versions, reinstalled the game, deleted the prefix in compatdata and it's still the same so I have no idea why it suddenly did this and the only update I have had is the Steam client update.

The only work around I have for this weird sudden issue is to rename movies in Spyro Reignited Trilogy/Falcon/Content/Movies to Movies_off

Hmm seems to have to do with Nvidia Hybrid but it only seems to affect this 1 game

@coreybruce Since you said that the game was working a couple of days ago, right before the latest experimental update, could you try out an older experimental version to make sure it wasn't a regression in Proton? I've uploaded the build here with lock code "proton": https://www.codeweavers.com/xfer/alasky/proton-test/

1. Create a compatibilitytools.d folder if you don't already have one: ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d
2. Move experimental-7.0-20220714b-redist.tar.zst into that folder
3. Untar it there with tar -xf (it should still be in its folder)
4. Restart Steam
   Now this build should be available as an option to select from the dropdown menu with Proton versions. To get rid of it later, just delete the folder and restart Steam again.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3035#issuecomment-1199835894

Seems like they fixed it after another proton update

Game takes an exceedingly long time to get in game on deck (Over a min to show the activation logo) and even them, the cut scenes play in another language entirely, Tested on experimental and GE 28.

My best guess is that proton isn't handling MP4 files with multi languages embedded properly, since the only other game ive seen do this was Halo infinite on my pc, which also uses MP4's with multi languages embedded.

Deleting the server transcoded version didnt help the language any, but boot up time was drastically improved, though no guarantees it was due to that.

I'm also seeing issues where pre-rendered cinematics play the wrong language by default. I'm using Proton 7.0-4 on SteamOS 3.3.1 (on the Steam Deck).

I'm having a problem where the first games 120% cinematic isn't playing
I just see that color test screen with static in the corner
Then the cutscenes skips

Considering I had to turn shader compilation on just to get cutscenes to play at all
This game really shouldn't be deck verified

I want to make a little report here that Spyro Reignited Trilogy has broken compatibility with Proton. At least in latest versions of Proton, the game will crash with Fatal Error message by Unreal Engine 4. Spyro Reignited Trilogy and UE4 relies on a specific DLL to be present which it cannot function without, and I presume it might have something to do with api-ms-win-appmodel-runtime-l1-1-1.dll either because different version that it's looking for that's different from the one already present in the library files.

Seems to affect Proton version either 7.0-4 or Proton Experimental, and even in GE-Proton7-24. The game window will popup a black window followed by the UE4 Fatal Error message box after it launches. I did try adding different Proton commands change things around to get it to work, to which it didn't. Also while the game does appear to support OpenGL and Vulkan, they cannot be used as the library files and runtime don't come with the core game files

Launch Options: PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% -nohmd

Whether you select to use WineD3D or not the game will still Fatal Error.

steam-996580.log

The mfplat.dll it references there is part of a tweak for getting cutscenes in the game to play, because without it cutscenes simply won't play at all, it'll just skip over them or just leave the game hanging on a black screen when it attempts to play the pre-rendered cutscenes..

@alkaris2 I'm not sure the last time you tried to play this without the tweak, but it should no longer be necessary.
