  • Trying to get Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force to work with manually installing Media Foundation workaround but idk I must be doing something wrong because I keep getting a not a directory message.

    Use Media Foundation Script to install fixes for opening video and probably for the cut scenes. Then the game will load Instructions: -Download Media Foundation script from here: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install -Unzip file in your Downloads Folder -Open Up terminal in Downloads/mf-install-master folder Copy and paste the the address of the folder where your game is installed, so example for my game is this: WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/524580/pfx" ./mf-install.sh press enter and let the script run

  • Clan N does not start on Linux/Steam Deck - any ideas?
    1 project | /r/SteamDeck | 4 Feb 2023
    Compatibility is "Unknown", so not tested yet by Valve. Just wanted to try this one out but it doesn't start. The same on my Linux Desktop PC with Steam Play. I tried different Proton versions including Proton-GE. No luck so far. There is a "SharpDX.MediaFoundation.dll" in the app folder so I thought, maybe it has smth. to do with being not able to play videos. I tried the media foundation trick from https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install but it didn't help.

    For media foundation some games you still need to apply a manual fix . Use the master version and follow the instructions and games with cutscene issues should work https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab. I had to do this to get fallen order to work through lutris.

    I tried running it by wine-staging 6.4, wine-staging 5.20, Proton 5.0, Proton 5.13, and Proton-6.1-GE-2, but the game gives me a black screen before the first custscene. I tried this workaround >> https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab and this workaround >> https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install but none of them worked. Any ideas?
