Meanwhile, Valve, a Yankee company, is still selling games to Russians...

So, I don't know what to think.

Something is wrong on the Valve version of Gstreamer...

This was from Chronos: Before the Ashes (that uses some mp4 videos at startup)

Now, if I use some of the GStreamer files from Proton Ge, everything works fine.

I wonder if, someday, We can have The PC GAME PASS Xbox Client running on Linux...
That would be the maximum PC gaming compatibility achievement.

I tested Borderlands 3 without that huge transcoded_video.foz file, for to see if the h264 local decoding is true, and is not, some files are missing.

Following the info from successive Proton logs, I had to paste these files on the folder Proton 7.0/dist/lib64/

libavfilter.so.7
libavformat.so.58
libavcodec.so.58
libavutil.so.56
libswscale.so.5
libswresample.so.3
libavresample.so.4

And Now Borderlands 3 cinematics works perfect... at least, for me.

I can see REsident Evil 2 in that list....
How is that possible?, I just tried the Demo [External Link] and the laptop video wasn't transcoded yet, it shows just the classic colour bars tv signal.

Quoting: tpau
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoValve has just 2 weeks for to solve the problem with the anti-cheats, MP4 and Windows Media Foundation files.
Wine has a solid implementation of media foundation api calls. Since Proton uses wine as foundation, what is the problem?
Seriously??
Every Proton user know that mp4 and wmv files used by some games don't play because Valve doesn't want to include "legally problematic" codecs.
