  • Steam AppID of the game: 719040

System Information

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

Sorry, I had to gzip the log file
steam-719040.log.gz

Symptoms

Game starts fine and seems to work fine, but I can't play because of unskippable not supported videos.

There are some reports that this game is perfectly playable using Proton-GE.

Reproduction

  1. Launch the game
  2. It will show a black screen
  3. Click with the mouse or press any key to skip the not playing video
  4. The main game menu will show
  5. Start a new game
  6. The screen will be black and stays black. You can click, press the Spacebar or ESC but nothing happens.
  7. You can Alt-tab and kill the game

Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-719040.log.gz and reproducing the reported behavior with Proton 5.13-4 on the listed Linux system. Investigate the startup and in-game video failure; the issue is done when the videos play and starting a new game no longer leaves the screen black.
