GloriousEggroll's proton fork seems to fix the video on the main menu, however the game is still unable to be played. Instead of crashing when trying singleplayer it just gives an error message and returns you to the main menu. Tested using version GE-Proton7-31

Symptoms
Game launches, and you can get to the main menu.
However this is where the issues start, the background of the main menu is supposed to be a video, instead it just has some like test output thing? (not my video but I found this on YouTube, the beginning here shows what the background video on the main menu should look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmqIAQwPZNM)
Also as soon as you try to start playing the game, I tried single player here, it will crash.
