Outer Worlds no cutscene video

Pretty minor... game runs flawlessly otherwise.

All cutscenes so far play with audio, but no video

Proton won't give any useful logs, please use wine-ge instead and send in a new log Also you might try with Prefer System Libs on

enable "use system libraries" but also ensure that you've installed the wine dependencies in the readme first https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1044301598018515105

The only thing I have found on this issue is this reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/vsuyf0/cutscenes_not_working_on_outer_worlds_through/ It recommends installing and using GE-Proton7-17 to fix the issue. Not sure how to do this given that it is no longer one of the options available to download in Heroic. Is there a way to try this manually?

the movies dont play because heroic flatpak doesnt have access to the codecs needed "use system libraries" is the way to fix this, as it will look on the system instead for the video codecs for me movies play perfectly fine in fact this game runs great overall no issues

Nice, thanks @Allora. I'll google to find where the "use system libraries" setting is. @revengeofzorg - I'm looking for the option and can't find it. Did you manage to fix your issue?

You have to use Wine-GE-Proton to see that option, NOT Proton-GE-Proton nor GE-Proton it should be in the game settings > others once you pick Wine-GE-Proton (don't use the ones ending with -LoL, those are for league of legends)

Well would you look at that! It works. One detail for any other noobs like myself, it doesn't seem that the "preferred system libraries" option was there for "Wine-GE-Latest". I had to explicitly select the latest "Wine-GE-Proton" option in the "Wine Manager", download it, then asscoiate it to the game within the games setting. Just in case this is not clear to anyone, this is all done within the Heroic Game Launcher. Thanks @Allora and @arieljuod for the help!
