Symptoms

Game crashes when attempting to load 2 specific pre-rendered cutscenes. The intro (advertise.usm) and a cutscene at the end of Part 2 / Saejima Chapter 4 (b2300.usm) both located in main/data/mvstm.

This can be worked around by overwriting both files with known working usm files and the game is playable from start to finish bar these 2 files. There's also an issue with cutscenes playing audio from different cutscenes but that appears to be affecting some Windows users as well.

Reproduction

Click play on Steam. 4 splash screens will appear (sega/RGG/QLOC/gamepad) and the game will crash when attempting to play the intro video (advertise.usm).

Start by reproducing the crash when the intro attempts to play advertise.usm, then inspect steam-1105510.log. The affected files are main/data/mvstm/advertise.usm and b2300.usm; compare their behavior with the reported working usm replacements. Done means both cutscenes load without crashing under Proton.
