Symptoms

The game starts fine, but instead of the intro video I only see the test pattern, which softlocks the game.

By default Steam uses the open-source AMD driver (the Proton logs with it have amdvlk in the name), however I also installed the RADV driver vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon and invoked it by adding VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json to the launch parameters (those logs have radv in the name). I tried three versions of Proton, 8.0-5 (8 in the log name), 9.0 Beta (9) and Experimental (e), the result is the same across all six combinations.
However, the game seems to run fine on Steam Deck, including video playback: steam-2707900-deck.log

Reproduction

Just run the game, I guess.

@ClaudeLib could you try again? It should be working now

CClaudeLib 2024-03-13 github

Nope, sorry, still no luck. I've updated and rebooted the system several times, restarted the Steam Client in hopes that it would download an update, nothing happened. I begin to think it must be some multimedia codec package which I have to install and which SteamOS has out of the box. Though I forgot to mention that I also tried running the game under HoloISO and ChimeraOS, which mimic SteamOS, and the issue was there as well.

@ClaudeLib that's weird, it should be working now. Could you try running this in your terminal and see if it starts working? steam steam://unlockh264/ this is something that should be happening automatically now (wasn't before), but if after enabling h264 manually on your end it doesn't work, please bring new logs for radv and proton stable.

YES! That worked! And the effect remained after client restart. Thank you!

This game on my setup has extremely erratic behaviour (which I think I can attribute to Proton), sometimes it runs at 2fps, sometimes 30 and sometimes > 60fps with no stutters and sometimes it fucks up my system audio making me only hear loud clicks and pops every few seconds until I close it, all of this with seemingly no connection, I tried Proton Experimental and default along with GE Proton and while the latter has higher FPS when the screen is blank, everything most of the time never surpasses 30fps in the garage and 15fps on the road. Changing graphics settings and resolution doesn't seem to impact the FPS.
The game running on the same hardware on Windows has no issues at max settings.
