Symptoms:

As of the latest Proton Experimental Update on June 14th 2022 the cutscenes in Secret of Mana appear black again now and skipping the cutscenes cause a crash, audio is fully functional, and subtitles display, but before this update literally just yesterday I was able to play it just fine on Proton Experimental, cutscenes were working fully and now they aren't. I tried seeing if the new implementations in 7.0-3 would work and nope, so now I have no way to enjoy the cutscenes in this game anymore.

And on top of this, no other proton version has a working version with the cutscenes working anymore, sadly. I tried every Proton GE version, as well as all past versions of proton available for download Directly thru steam.

Reproduction

Video issue:

  1. Start a new game, pick language, pick text language, character name, press ok
  2. Then the cutscene should start playing with a black screen, but will have audio and subtitles

Freeze:

  1. proceeding to push the Start/Skip button for the cutscene, on the steam deck soft locks the game (game froze, and have to force exit) when trying to skip the cutscene.

After further investigation, this issue was brought up 2 months ago, and the response given was

"This is about EVR component:

1073.832:013c:0140:fixme:evr:video_presenter_control_GetCurrentImage 12EE003C, 0156FD3C, 0156FCBC, 0156FCA4, 0156FC9C.

The fix was pushed to experimental, please try to switch the game to "Proton Experimental" for retesting."

So it seems a regression in the update on June 14th 2022 of Proton Experimental and Proton 7.0-3 was made.
