Did the following through protontricks: installed quartz, LAV Filters 0.74.1. I needed to change the version of windows to 10 to get LAV Filters to install properly. At the end of LAV Filters install, I made sure to check the configuration options for audio and video, and turned everything on. Also unchecked the box that said to use Microsoft codecs for wmv. After that, everything worked perfectly. Intro movies played, and played through the prologue until I hit the next video. It played perfectly, and then continued on with the game.
I tried a few other combinations of dlls and codecs, but anything more than quartz + LAV Filters crashed on video playback.
Controller only worked when the game was launched fullscreen from Big Picture Mode. Using XBox 360 wired controller.
Very occasional pop or crackle. Hardly noticeable.
The game cannot be closed from the in-game menu. You have to alt-tab out and stop it in steam, or bring up the steam overlay and close it there.
I've put in over 50 hours into this game on Linux, including completing the game. Other than the close-game bug, I had no major problems at all. Using pipewire for audio, there was a very occasional pop or crackle, probably once or twice an hour. It seemed to only affect the music, not sfx or voices. I did not try it with pulseaudio. It actually seemed to run a bit better than CSIII, but that might just be the newer drivers and proton version. Works with freesync/gsync if you have it configured correctly.
