Capcom recently gave Devil May Cry HD Collection a small update, and as a result it will now work properly on SteamOS / Linux systems.
The game is currently rated Unsupported on all SteamOS / Linux systems - due to a historical issue with the videos not working. Originally, they would completely crash the game with Proton. Later updates to Proton made them work, but the videos were upside down. The issue being the codec used, as the developer originally relied on Windows Media Video which doesn't work too well with Proton, but the latest update to the game changed them over to the more modern and open standard with WebM.
Giving it a test run myself today with plain Proton 11 and no extras on Fedora KDE 44 and yep - the videos do appear to be working without issue. Looks like another one that should eventually get the green Verified tick.
Some quick snaps taken today:
In the official update post, Capcom make no mention of the video changes and simply noted:
- Verified compatibility with Windows 11.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
The collection contains Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition.

Quoting: eldersnakeWeird, I installed it and played a bit of the first DMC through Heroic (GE-Proton) weeks ago and don't recall running into any issues even with videos then.GE-Proton has changes for videos the official Proton cannot do. This is for official Proton.
Quoting: AlexanderRavenheartconsidering this one is part of the GOG Preservation Program.Doesn't that mean it gets patches from GOG? Not necessarily from the publisher.
Quoting: eldersnakeplayed a bit of the first DMC through Heroic (GE-Proton) weeks ago and don't recall running into any issues even with videos then.GE-Proton has quite a bit of extra handling for video support, which Valve probably can't incorporate (licensing issues, AI assisted development, or whatever other reasons).

Quoting: PhlebiacYes, that is correct, but it would be pretty awful if games associated with that program would not get the latest patches/updates from the publisher/developer, especially ones that improve/expand OS compatibility - a major goal of the program.Quoting: AlexanderRavenheartconsidering this one is part of the GOG Preservation Program.Doesn't that mean it gets patches from GOG?
