unlike MS1. MS2 seems to now run fine with Proton Experimental without Tinkering
the video playback now working with latest proton GE
Rename all movie folders in the game's masterWindows directory.
The best version of Proton to run this game seems to be 6.3-8. I only get stuttering with Experimental, even several versions later.
The game also takes a while to get past the black screens at the beginning, probably because it's trying to play movies. It seems to take at least a minute to get through all that. If you want it to start a LOT faster, you can try disabling the intro movies by renaming all the movie folders in the game's masterWindows directory (e.g., MOVIE_EN_OLD). That seems to work well for me, and it's something I also found useful with Moero Chronicle.
I just purchased Mary Skelter Finale, but haven't installed it yet since I'm still getting through this one. Ugh, so many games to play, so little time. But I suspect if Finale has issues like this game has, using Proton 6.3-8 might fix them, along with renaming movie folders. Well, besides some of the sudden crash to desktop issues, which I remember plagued this game on Windows as well.
Tried both Proton Experimental (which I use for all other games) and Proton-GE (since a few other reports here recommended it). The game ran well with these, but would inexplicably crawl to a halt while exploring various parts of dungeons. For example, in the first underground dungeon (when it's just Otsuu by herself), the game pretty much locks up when you come to the first door. Not sure what changes caused this happen in current Proton builds, or if I should be using launch flags, etc. Could also be my video card, no idea. At any rate, with Proton 6.3-8, I don't experience any slowdowns whatsoever. Videos don't play, but you can watch those in the game files at /Mary Skelter 2/masterWindows/
Missing videos at launch and missing blood skelter and critical notice cut-ins.
Does not launch properly after exiting the game from various screens, reinstalling is required to fix this.
Black screens when launching, mash a to bypass and get to main title menu screen.
Blackscreen and no audio on startup movies, need to hit A multiple times to get past them
DXVK_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/dxvk.conf" mangohud gamemoderun %command%
When moving close to enemy encounters, the fading results in a wireframe version of the enemy appearing. There are other graphical issues when not using a dxvk.conf config that contains "d3d11.disableMsaa = True"
Video playback doesn't work. Currently requires rapidly pressing Enter or A button to get past those.
If possible, use an external framerate limiter. The in-game framelimiter has a rounding error that results in the game speed running four frames faster than intended if your screen refresh rate is over 60Hz.
Need to button mash to get past black screens on boot up, with dxvk workaround, graphics display properly.
Videos are borked, uses mp4, tried using mf-install and it causes the game to crash on startup.
A dxvk.conf file is needed with d3d11.disableMsaa = True as its content. Put in the games launch options DXVK_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/dxvk.conf" %command%
All videos are borked, graphics are borked. Have to click/button mash to get rid of starting black screens.
Looks like everything that is not a character silhouette in conversations are big block lines that are placed in weird places, cannot see enimies or dungeon.
Had no idea where to select which game I was playing, selection my have been hidden in a black screen.
Haven't tried running the game with any fixes.
It opened but there was just a black screen and i waited 30 minutes which did nothing.
I did this with proton tricks but it does boot other exe files i've tried,it's just this one that is being problematic.
