Likely due to missing gstreamer support.

Hi,

I'm doing some research for my issue at number 1464. That issue deals with cinematic/video playback. Most of the listed games already have a proton log attached to their issue, but this game does not.

Could somebody be so kind as to upload a proton log from a clean install?

I need to search in the proton log for mentions of MF or quartz, so that I can categorize the game.

Thanks for the help!

I can get the log for DW8 (and possibly Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate), what do you mean by clean install? Does clicking Install on Steam and playing it without doing anything counts?

EDIT: If that is what you want, here it is:
steam-278080.log
Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with RX570 gpu, I launched the game directly after install (with PROTON_LOG=1 %command%) without disabling the cinematics in Configuration, it results with a black screen that hangs

EDIT 2: the solution in #3982 works here:
protontricks 278080 wmp9 quartz devenum

@minecraft2048 Thanks for looking into this, I've updated the list at #1464 with your findings. ✨

EDIT 2: the solution in #3982 works here: protontricks 278080 wmp9 quartz devenum

something to note: this no longer works (or at least on the versions I've tested (base 7 and 8, experimental, as well as GE-7-50 and GE-8-10) ), they tend to crash with this error:

Fossilize INFO: Overriding serialization path: "/run/media/zeron/LinuxGaming/SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache/278080/fozpipelinesv6/steamapprun_pipeline_cache". Fossilize INFO: Overriding serialization path: "/run/media/zeron/LinuxGaming/SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache/278080/fozpipelinesv6/steamapprun_pipeline_cache". Fossilize WARN: Pipeline library handle 0xffffffffe55680c8 is not registered. It has either not been recorded, or it failed to be recorded earlier (which is expected if application uses an extension that is not recognized by Fossilize).
going back to GE-7-14 allows the game to run again, but still produces no audio during cinematics

update to previous comment, the installing of new DLLs is not required (was what was causing the crashes as it turns out), instead just adding this line to the launch arguments works (or at least with proton 8.0-4, and GE-8-25):
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%

(note: [pinched this fix from this protondb entry for #4812
