Proton: Echo (551770)

[Simmonz]

I tried running Echo through Proton and while it launches and plays the cutscenes don't play. There is no errors or anything, they are just skipped and the gameplay starts. Also every time I launch the game it is in windowed mode. It says fullscreen but is in fact Windowed. I have to set it to Windowed and then back to fullscreen to get proper fullscreen. The Steam AppID of the game is 551770. I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch od got the following log:

I have checked whether there are updates for my system available and I am up to date

Looks like this game would benefit from Media Foundation support.

I can confirm the problem with videos being skipped. For me the game always launches in borderless even though it is set to fullscreen, note that the game has separate options for windowed, borderless and fullscreen (don't know if this is an issue with the game on Windows too)

@HonkingGoose The videos look like they are in MPEG-4, AVC+AAC codec.

@AwesamLinux Thanks for the media info. I've updated my master list.

Retest Compatibility Report

Same problems persist, Full Screen and Borderless mode behave the same (like the game is running in borderless windowed mode, can't alt+tab to desktop but that can be worked around by moving the game to a different workspace).

The videos do work if Microsoft Media Foundation is manually installed.

Update nr2:
There is some occasional audio popping/crackling. PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 appears to fix that (even though I have ulimit set to 1048576). I mistakenly thought first that changing Pulse Latency had fixed the audio.

Retest Compatibility Report

With Proton 5.0-7 the same problems remain, game skips cut-scenes but is otherwise playable.

I tried it also with unofficial/custom Proton 5.8-GE-1 (and with that the game crashed immediately on launch)
