Today I tried it in multiplayer for the first time ever. The content I found on one of the servers was overwhelming.

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?


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
