Symptoms

When hovering over the list of weapon types in the armory, a little video plays to showcase each of them. Sometimes it fails to load, then either directly freezes (sound still plays) and then the crash window appears, or that happens right after navigating away from the menu where the videos are shown.

Reproduction

When selecting a weapon type, either at the beginning or going to an armory (talk to NPC Gemma), as described above.

Hello @juxuanu, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-3677863937.

Alright @kisak-valve , I saw that issue but since the crash wasn't related I thought opening a new one would make more sense. Sorry about that.
