launching via controller layout tool below.

Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies disabled: black screen Using Ge-Proton7-5, movies disabled: black screen Using Proton Experimental, movies disabled: Falcom logo displays and the game takes me to the menu. Starting game appears to function and takes me directly to a scene with a table in a room. Using Proton Experimental, movies enabled: takes me directly to the menu. Starting game takes me to the same scene with the girl at the table.

Launching via directx 8 configuration tool below

Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies disabled: game launches and takes me directly to the menu. Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies enabled: game does not launch, black screen. Using Ge-Proton7-5, movies enabled : black screen Using Proton Experimental, movies enabled: game takes me directly to the menu.

So in recap: regardless of if I launch with directx8 or the standard launch, there's some versions of GE proton that get me to the game and many that don't. But in all cases, the in game movies either need to be disabled or they get automatically skipped.
