Quoting: mrdeathjr
Quoting: Avehicle7887Can you try Elderborn and Greak - Memories of Azur?

These 2 games play videos for me but the colors are messed up, sound works fine though. Both games are using Unity engine.
Testing elderborn in my case appear same color error still with reencode cinematics, curiously cinematics stay in h264

Respect greak memories of azur have same problem

Possible a wine problem with h264?

:smile:
I've tried to re-encode to other h264 profiles too, which caused the videos to not play at all then. Thanks for checking it out :)

when 32bit wmv cinematics begin work many titles are fixed and others in x64 case Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana, sadly many games use cinematics in wmv :sick:

Thanks, I guess it's time to re-install these games and play around with handbrake. Lately I've been trying to get a few game videos working with wine staging and have had some success.

Quoting: Linuxerok nice for being so kind. i got it to download and i extracted and clicked the file theforceengine

but nothing happens. i mean maybe i should just wait for the next version ... im not getting anywhere :/
You need to launch it from the 'play.sh' file. If that doesn't run it still, chances are you're missing some libraries. Open up a terminal and run the 'depcheck.sh' file, it will tell you what's missing.
ok i tried clicking the play file too and it also does nothingh. nevermind i can just wait. i was wondering why those missing things cant be on that zip file ppl download from github? all there and click that play file?

I think you're nearly there, what you're missing are just some libraries. Running the 'depcheck.sh' file in terminal will list what's missing.
