As of the most recent proton, installing lavfilters will play the opening's music only, while installing lavfilters in older proton versions will play the op but without sound. Adding devenum and quartz hasn't helped in my case. openings, endings and videos aside, game works fine.
Proton 6.3-2 has the same problem that the protons 5 had, you can hear the music during the opening but once the main menu shows up, no longer you can hear the music. You can only hear the voices. Using Proton 4.11-13 is still the way to make everything work.
There's some minor sound cracks when you're in fights, for instance when attacking with x2 cut materia, the first slash can be heard, but the second can't. Sometimes it's vice versa. Alt tabbing keeps the sound of the game going in the background and on a loop. Everything else works 100%
As of now, without tweaking, you can only get to the main menu and that's the end of it
With the solution used in the reports below the game won't even launch. Using LAV Filters only with no other tweaks makes the videos work but they freeze 99% of the time
The Lutris script works with the winetricks version of my distro, the most recent winetricks version wasn't installing wmp for some reason.
With proton 5.0-9 to be able to watch all the videos, credits, logo, etc you'll need to install lavfilters into your game prefix(.steam/xyz/steamapps/compatdata/436670/pfx) and you'll also have to use protontricks/winetricks to download directshow(protontricks 436670 directshow). After that, type winecfg on the terminal and add winegstreamer -> edit -> disable under the libraries tab
Some minor "hiccups" here and there
Game crashes when you try to exit from the title menu
Just a glitch on an NPC near the end of the game, also happens on Windows
Sadly unlike most older falcom games where the combo of directshow and lavfilters tends to work, here it doesn't. If you're ok with the videos not playing(you can always watch them on their folder if you want) the game runs perfectly
With GE-Proton8-3 we finally have synced audio with the video cutscenes. Everything else works too, although alt-tabbing from both botherless and full screen is still very wonky. Other than that, you can finally play this as intended on Linux.
Alt tabbing while in fullscreen does not work. Change it to windowing or borderless. Other than that, it just works
Installed directshow and cinepak
On proton 5.0-9, the cutscenes audio will work but not the video. It gets stuck on those as well
protontricks 223870 winecfg -> add winegstreamer and edit -> disable
protontricks 223870 amstream quartz.
These two did the trick to play the videos. Make sure the libgstreamer libraries are installed
Alt-Tab doesn't work
As of 5.0-9, all you need to make every video(logo, opening and cutscenes) play is to install lavfilters into the game's prefix.
The game works out of the box with proton 5-16.3 but like it was said in previous comments months ago, to this day I still can't make the falcom logo and the opening video play despite many attempts including the usual tricks for the falcom games(installing lav filters, amstream, quartz, etc). Well, there's only 2 fmvs besides the logo anyway, the op and credits, you can always check them on your game's local folders.
Finally made the videos work with protontricks 587100 quartz amstream cinepak and with the newest release of proton-ge-custom.
Nothing else was needed. No more need to delete the Ys SEVEN/lang/en/system/font.bin file as well, the text works right out of the box with this proton version
Tried installing directshow via protontricks to get the videos playing, it made the game unbootable(stuck in a black screen). Tried installing quartz and amstream only, same result. Tried installing lav filters with wine into the game prefix, nothing will play(the game will play just fine even with lav filters as long as there's nothing from directshow installed) Also tried adding winegstreamer and disabling it via winecfg, no success either
Alt tab doesn't work
Not sure why the videos weren't working earlier but I made every video including the opening play without any issues by doing the usual in ys/sky games including in this one as stated in my previous report to this game, winetricks directshow and winecfg -> add winegstreamer -> disable and everything works.
The videos were not playing. That was solved by installing directshow and cinepak via winetricks into the game prefix, alongside lavfilters via wine. Everything else's perfect
As of the version 5.13 nothing has changed for what do you need to run this game. Runs perfectly by default except the falcom logo and videos which are fixed like in previous versions with winetricks cinepak directshow and install lavfilters with wine, all of these into your game /pfx
Using 5.0-9 everything works perfectly except the logo/ending and videos which are fixed by installing amstream and quartz into the game prefix via winetricks/protontricks and add and disable the library winegstreamer via wine winecfg(WINEPREFIX=/path/to/your/gameAPPID/pfx winecfg -> add winegstreamer- > edit -> Disable).
