Proton: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum! (2700)

[moonheart08]

The game's intro video and music are completely nonfunctional. Likely due to the usage of the .wma format for music and the .wmv format for movies.

I get a runtime error shortly after launch. It goes full screen with a black window, press any key and I get this:

Symptoms

With D9VK enabled, holding shift to elevate buildings while placing them does not work. Works when using WineD3D for DirectX 9, and on Windows (duh).

While testing this, I also noticed another issue: the intro films that play (more like pictures since Proton lacks WMV support) cannot be skipped when using D9VK, but can with WineD3D. (you should be able to skip them with space)

Reproduction

1. Start the game with launch options set to PROTON_USE_D9VK=1
2. Start a scenario or sandbox
3. Place an object and hold down shift while moving the mouse
4. Notice that it does not work as expected (compare to what it does when using WineD3D)

Note: I'm aware there is an open report for this game, but it seems to be focused on the lack of music, which this is unrelated to.

As of Proton 5.13-1 the intro films now seem to attempt to play, but instead of playing they seemingly display some colour test? Also, after they're over and you're at the main menu two Active Movie windows appear. Neither show anything but a black screen. Closing both crashed the game for me.

@Newbytee The "color test" intro film thing actually indicates progress is made on the video playback. :wink:

From the CodeWeavers developer https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1464#issuecomment-710094016:

If you see a color bars pattern appearing now, that's an indicator of our work on certain codecs. You will hopefully see the real video instead of those color bars very soon.
