Symptoms

The game starts and shows menu. Once "New game" is selected, screen turns white and game hangs. Closing windows closes application, but sometimes it crashes.

Reproduction

Select "New game" in main menu.

Workarounds

The community already identified that the problem here is lack of Windows Media Foundation support in wine - tracked in #1464 (game attempts to load mfplat.dll).

For users who would like to test the game anyway, @Mastergatto already documented necessary steps in this comment. I tried and these worked (I needed to google for some archived version of zipped file mentioned in the comment) - so far I played through the first "level" of the game and it works perfectly, including controller support.

As a side note, the same "white screen" problem affects not only Linux users, but also some Windows users, as indicated in "Common issues" thread in Steam Discussions.

Start with the attached steam-683320.log and reproduce the failure by selecting “New game” in GRIS. Read the linked Windows Media Foundation issue #1464 and compare its mfplat.dll findings with this report. Done means the game proceeds past the white screen without hanging or crashing.
