Symptoms

Beyond that, the game works perfectly.

Research direction

Start by inspecting Proton's game-specific hack configuration and the existing Postal 4 entry, since the report identifies the required launch variable as the workaround. Add the equivalent configuration for POSTAL: Brain Damaged and verify that its videos play correctly without the manual launch option.
