Compatibility Report

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
  • Steam AppID of the game: 2537590

System Information

I confirm:

  • [ X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [X ] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Videoplayback seems to have a codec issue, cause videos just show a placeholder (color bars)
Video plays with latest Proton-GE (9.20) but with Proton-GE 9.20 the game is not working.

Found this in the logs:
