The game requires the following winetricks:

• winetricks quartz devenum wmp9 xact

Game crashes during start up. After ArcSys logo, the game switches to a black screen and immediately crashes.

Tested with winetricks settings enabled, default user_settings.py.

Hi @flibitijibibo:
Is this something you want labeled XAudio2 maybe?
The Proton log contains a reference to XAUDIO2_7.DLL and mentions: X3DAudio1_7.dll.

same behavior in 3.16-4

I can confirm that the game crashes when the intro movie is going to be played.

@HonkingGoose the videos appear to be .wmv, VC-1 + WMA

I see several mentions about quartz in the log, like for example "26145.339:0027:0037:fixme:quartz:MPEGSplitter_QueryInterface No interface for {37d84f60-42cb-11ce-8135-00aa004bb851}!"

@AwesamLinux Thanks for the information about the codecs used in the game. I've updated my list at #1464.

Game plays intro and is able to run VS matches using GE Proton 7.10 (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton7-10). Further testing required, but any of the current proton versions (7.x or Experimental) fail to properly play the videos and get to the title screen.

The prologue video from the Story mode is currently rendered as colored bars with Proton 10.0-4 and 11.0 (beta-2).
