    For RE2R it's probably a video codec issue. Installing this in the game's wineprefix should get it running with wine. I recommend the DX11 version.

    Set the game to use Proton 6.3-8 Run game once to create compatdata/462780/pfx (If this already exists, delete it first to ensure its a new copy) Get mf-install (e.g. https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab/archive/master.zip) and decompress it.

    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?
