Freeze / Black Screen after completing Prologue
After so many years, I wanted to play this amazing game again on Linux, however the game crashes or freezes at the end of prologue (immediately after CHAPTER 1: REVENGE text appears)

The game ran fine at max settings, with online mode on.

Tried verifying files, didn't help.

It's actually a legal issue, the required video codecs cannot be included by default because the license doesn't allow it.

now that's just weird, seems like unnecessary bureaucracy for something that is suppose to be convenient entertainment
