Pop-up error only mentions windows media video so I didn't look deeper into it.
Game seems to include wmfdist95.exe in redistributables so that might not be installed correctly with Proton? Or is there another component that is missing from the redistributable package?
Adding reference to meta-bug for similar issues: #1464
I have a problem. Game starts on Proton 9.0 and 8.0-5 but videos/cutscenes doesn't play. They appear as coloured bars. The game seems to play fine.

I managed to play it with Proton GE but there's no sound and the game can drop to 1fps and freeze requiring a hard reset.
Nobody got this running properly on linux?

Looks like this is playable but without videos playing, just the test pattern in those places. Upstream has improvements in various media handling, waiting for those to land in Proton (for many other games as well).
