Symptoms

Aside from story mode, the game plays perfectly, including online matches and controller support.

When selecting story mode it loads into a black screen, where you can still press buttons and hear the audio working, you can even enter the fight, but the black screen remains.

It seems to require a Media Foundation workaround which I have applied, but I believe it also requires DXVA2 support. As it spams this in the log when I select story mode.

204468.944:0027:0031:fixme:dxva2:DXVA2CreateDirect3DDeviceManager9 (0x7a1d888, 0x7f303a6abb88): stub

I tried using dxva2.dll files from Windows 10 and set them to native in winecfg, and that removes the DXVA2 message and replaces it with this

203020.388:0026:0082:err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {b084785c-dde0-4d30-8ca8-05a373e185be} could be created for context 0x1

However the black screen still remains. Disabling dxva2.dll in winecfg causes the game to not start.

Reproduction

Start game try to enter story mode.

Start by reproducing the issue with Dead or Alive 6 in story mode using Proton 3.16-8, then inspect steam-838380.log around the DXVA2 and Media Foundation messages. Done means story mode renders normally instead of showing a black screen, while preserving the reported online and controller behavior.
