read this, and specified all the problem and logs, but with this working

Works perfectly after the following workaround: must unzip RE 6 movie.rar, downloaded from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DxFBxQ-PEhLorrdOeTyB6nW-qzSlQYE3/view , inside the folder Steam/steamapps/common/Resident Evil 6/nativePC/movie. After that, runs flawlessly (tested Campaign and The Mercenaries, both with maxed out graphics).

I'm having the same problem. To me it happens on Ubuntu MATE 18.04

Hello! I have VLC player and I was trying different encodings but so far no luck. Could you tell me the settings for video encoding use or share the video archive. Thanks!

Used winetricks-git and ran: WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/221040/pfx/ winetricks -q wmp11

Game is starting without issues. Just played some minutes but it seems fine. ACO is preferred because of crazy stuttering with llvm.

@random2324 thanks for sharing but unfortunately that trick is not working for me.
Got the last winetricks here:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
and ran:
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/221040/pfx/ ./winetricks -q wmp11
wmp11 got installed properly.
When going back to steam and clicking play I am still experiencing the same issue. The game start, I see the capcom screen, a couple of screens where I can say yes/no and that's it. I am stuck on a Black screen where I can see move the mouse but with nowhere to click.
Am I missing something?

hey try this, for me this works perfect, issue with movies framerate but not to worry

get a recent version of winetricks (older versions do not support wmp11 installation): "wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks"
"chmod +x winetricks"
install wmp11 in silent mode (without silent mode it didn't work for me): "WINEPREFIX=/gamespath/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221040/pfx/ ./winetricks"
enable silent mode in winetricks, "enable silent install", later install "install a windows DLL or component"
find a choose "wmp11" later of install two packages, you are able to open resident evil 6 and play

This with proton 5.0.7

[soredake]

Silent mode should not be needed after https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/commit/f6cc727a55cf5a2b710e9e3eccb3b550e2d04f01

protontricks 221040 -q wmp11

@jdetychey
You probably want to remove your game folder under compatdata and try again. If it doesnt work, it means something went wrong. Or there is another problem. Unfortunately I cant help here if it is driver related, as Im using mesa.

Also you can use the new 20200412 release of winetricks which probably comes with your distro. After this you can use the protonstricks wrapper like soredrake mentioned.

Thanks a lot for your help and comments. I tried a couple more workarounds and ended up fixing my dual boot to play on windows 눈_눈
Better luck next time
