Symptoms

Videos do not play. The game skips intro videos, but ingame videos (like resting in a shelter) turn the screen black and you only can do ALT+F4

Reproduction

Just start the game. There should be intro videos.
/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Die Young/DieYoung/Content/Movies/
intro.mp4

/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Die Young/DieYoungPrologue/Content/Movies/
Intro_Prologue_DEF.mp4

I tried to convert the videos to h.264 again, so they are playable in firefox
