System Shock 2 Black Cutscenes
I just installed SS2 because it's been sitting in my GOG library for quite a while and whenever I launch it, everything works well except any cutscenes, which just give a black screen with their sound. The video files exist inside of the cutscenes directory and I can play them through a video player, but they just don't work in the game.

enable "prefer system libraries"
but in doing so you probably want to make sure you have all the wine dependencies:

if you use system libraries...
since instead of going to flat pack it'll go look for them on the system
lately the flatpak hasnt had the best colleciton of video codecs, hence the "videos dont play" enabling "prefer system libraries" will look on the system first for videos, and fall back to flatpak
so if you dont have any gstreamer (which is part of the wine deps stuff in the readme) you'll just have blank videos still
i dont think this option does anything if you dont have flatpak

Hey, sorry for the late response
Did this and prefer system libraries and still got black cutscenes with sound
