I tried the suggestion to use media foundation overrides:

https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install

But that only helped audio, not video.

I saw somewhere even GE developer saying not to use proton-ge for non Steam games for some reasons. What kind of patches are missing in Wine that are needed then?

[Wine-GE github page](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom) mentions that Wine-GE contains "additional media foundation patches for better video playback support" not included in Valve's proton though Everspace 2 is not listed as supported. If I am not mistaken, Valve's direction is replacing problematic video files with re-encoded videos in newer proton builds.

Quoting: ShmerlI saw somewhere even GE developer saying not to use proton-ge for non Steam games for some reasons. What kind of patches are missing in Wine that are needed then?

If he did, he probably didn't mean the builds he specifically puts out for use in Lutris or other non-Steam platforms. Might be worth trying the game with the latest [wine-ge-proton binaries](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/) and, if it works, looking for relevant patches [in the repository](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/tree/master/patches).

May be it's this one: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/blob/master/patches/proton/30-proton-mediafoundation_dllreg.patch

Or one of the mfplat (Media Foundation Platform) patches right after that one.

That's some massive patch.

I wonder why they can't just use ffmpeg to begin with instead of gstreamer and avoid this kind of stuff.
