Hello @ipr, minor note that your log hints that this game is using wmvcore instead of windows media foundation.

Pop-up error only mentions windows media video so I didn't look deeper into it.

Game seems to include wmfdist95.exe in redistributables so that might not be installed correctly with Proton? Or is there another component that is missing from the redistributable package?

I have a problem. Game starts on Proton 9.0 and 8.0-5 but videos/cutscenes doesn't play. They appear as coloured bars. The game seems to play fine.

I managed to play it with Proton GE but there's no sound and the game can drop to 1fps and freeze requiring a hard reset.
