Cutscenes on steamdeck problem

[Signularis]

Sorry im still new with the steam deck but some cutscenes it doesnt show, instead i get some test screen when there suppost to be a cutscene

[A.K.T.]

Use Proton 6.3 and it should work. There's some sort of regression with Proton running this game somewhere after that.

I have the same Issue. Proton 6.3 did not help

[Lukhart]

Have the same issue, I don't understand why this is happening since it's steam deck verified now

[DINOSAUCERS]

Having this problem as well. Tried Proton experimental and 6 to no avail.

Use ProtonGE (work with ProtonGE 8.6 for me ) , it's a codec problem

This worked for me. Check Protondb for more info on how to get audio in the cutscenes to work properly.

Same thing happend to me, it's so annoying when a Steam Deck verified game still has major issues.

There's also the options to replace all the cutscenes with the FMV Cutscenes Remastered mod. It changes the cutscene movie format from the wmv to mp4, completely bypassing the video codec issues with the wmv.

Other recommendation people posted on which mod to also get are:
* MelonLoader on Linux & Steamdeck
* HD Audio for HD Ears

Hold on a second, you're telling me a company in in the year of our lord 2024 is distributing videos in WMV format? I was thinking about buying this but that's reflective of such a level of technical incompetence I think I'll skip.

Oh dude, this port is busted beyond belief, it's a Unity Port of an old PS2 game, locked at 30FPS, with the same original compressed audio from said PS2 original.

You have to mod in:
HD Audio
Framerate Unlocker
Widescreen Videos

If you expected any QOL features? Tough tiddy, the only QOL feature we got was the ability to suspend gameplay; anything else you'll have to Mod in.

That being said though, I do think it's the best way to play the game as the one thing the remaster has that the others don't is Voice Acting, but Dante is DLC this time around.

Vanillla, you can play it with just the HD Audio but I wouldn't recommend it at all.


That being said, I don't think this is at ALL out of the ordinary for a Japanese developer/publisher, for some reason they haven't a clue how to port historically, for the most part it has gotten better, but this remaster reminds me of ♥♥♥♥♥♥' Deadly Premonition, Dark Souls 1, and Killer is Dead, back when Japanese games on PC were a bit of a rarity; back then Metal Gear Rising was one of the best Japanese games on PC; they actually gave you competent KBM controls!

Not saying it's acceptable for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ports, but just part of the course if you're predominantly on PC and you love Japanese games. (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Japan just treat us like normal consumers already)
