Symptoms

Video playback does not work, shows the "test pattern" video. Game then hangs indefinitely after the first "line of dialogue" in the subtitles.

Reproduction

Play the game up until the "Prologue", an animated video will play. Under Proton, this does not work.

See also this video (from someone else) describing this and other issues with the game.

The logs go some way to explaining this (though it's certainly the usual codecs issue):

Interestingly: I cannot reproduce the issue on my openSUSE Tumbleweed desktop with the same Game / Proton version. That system does have gstreamer codecs installed, nVidia's VDPAU API, and openSUSE tends play around with the Steam runtime, so may be forcing other gstreamer versions accidentally.

Start with the attached steam-871980.log and reproduce the issue using Proton Experimental through the Prologue. Investigate the reported missing MPEG-4 AAC decoder and AVProVideo playback failure; done means the video no longer shows the test pattern and the game does not hang after the first subtitle line.
