Description

The gameplay fully works, but the videos (FMVs) aren't working at all: they show one frame per several seconds. You can clearly see the interlacing in the frames.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the FMV playback problem in Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee under Proton 3.7-3 on Ubuntu 18.04 with the reported NVIDIA hardware, using the linked full-specs report for environment details. Done means the videos play smoothly rather than showing one interlaced frame every several seconds.
