Proton: Resident Evil HD Remastered Cinematics dont work (304240)

[mrdeathjr28]

This game use wmv cinematics, in wine 32bit works but on proton not

@mrdeathjr28, have you been able to play the game?

It seems wmp only works on a 32bit wine prefix, so the only way to currently play RE Remake and other games with wmv cinematics on Steam Play is by trying to create a custom prefix as described in https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/99e0kc/steam_playguide_create_custom_32bit_prefix_to/ and install the packages with winetricks

@luizgcorreia

Yeah this works but this is not complete solution (steamplay must click and play), andrei eikum talk about proper fix (this could solve various video problems, dont only with wmv)

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!

Seems that WMVcore.dll is the troublemaker here?
From Proton log:

fixme:wmvcore:WMCreateSyncReader ((nil), 1, 0x59299798): stub

I've updated my list at #1464 to reflect the new findings.

Game launches to a black screen and nothing happens. Like @HonkingGoose mentioned I see mentions of wmvcore.dll in the log.

As for the codecs the Video and Audio looks to be split into two separate files (probably because of multilingual purposes). Video seems to be Windows Media VC-1 and audio is Ogg. Including the logs and mediainfo:

After installing the WMP the game works fine but i noticed a constant 10% usage from the wineserver.
I'm not sure but probably this is trashing a bit of performance
