Hello I have been trying to get this japanese game called Shigatsu Youka (死月妖花～四月八日～) running, usually I can get them running in one way or another but this one is giving me issues with videos since it seems it has several videos with different video format and no way to skip them.

The first video is some sort of logo intro right after opening the game. The only way I have found of this video playing is using proton-ge 9 as a runner (10 doesn't work), I was using 9-26.

There is a second video that plays right after finishing the first scene of the game (there are a bunch of warnings you need to accept and then the game starts) right here https://i.imgur.com/xfAMHxn.png the game freezes here, this is the relevant log it seems: https://i.imgur.com/XdAfiYh.png

This log mentions asf which usually works when installing codecs like wmp11 and quartz2. The main problem here is that if install them it makes the first logo video to not work and crash right at the start so I can't even test it. I feel like you need to install several codecs that work for all video formats simultaneously or something similar.

I also have a bunch of gstreamer libraries:

gst-libav 1.26.2-2 gst-plugin-pipewire 1:1.4.5-1 gst-plugins-bad 1.26.2-2 gst-plugins-bad-libs 1.26.2-2 gst-plugins-base 1.26.2-2 gst-plugins-base-libs 1.26.2-2 gst-plugins-good 1.26.2-2 gst-plugins-ugly 1.26.2-2 gst-rtsp-server 1.26.2-2 gstreamer 1.26.2-2 lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs 1.26.2-1 lib32-gst-plugins-good 1.26.2-1 lib32-gstreamer 1.26.2-1

which usually makes video works for old Japanese VNs, at least when using a wine runner with wow64. However here I also tried mainline wine, tkg and proton with no luck. Proton-ge 9 (9.26) was the only one I tried that could play that logo video at the start, but not the next one.

The entire game content is also inside the exe file, so no easy way to see what the videos are or reencode them.

Any ideas? It's a free game if anyone wants to try testing by themselves: https://www.freem.ne.jp/dl/win/19917 (you dont need an account, you will need JP Locale, and maybe need to remove JP characters from the path if it's giving you issues)

I'm planning to switch to Linux and mainly want it for gaming — specifically installing and playing cracked games like DODI, FitGirl, ElAmigos repacks, etc.

I know Steam with Proton works great for legit games, but what distro would you recommend for good compatibility with Wine/Proton GE, DXVK, and tools like Lutris or Heroic?

Ideally looking for:

Great Windows compatibility (for installers, launchers, cracks)

Easy driver and library setup (NVIDIA system)

Good performance

Not too complicated to maintain

So far, I’ve seen people mention Pop!_OS, Nobara, and Linux Mint. Would love feedback from anyone who's used these specifically for pirated game installs and launches.

Thanks in advance!

ProtonDB has a bunch of people saying just -skipvideos for the steam launch options to disable the intro and it works.

Then there's guys like https://www.protondb.com/app/1238080#CPpXFr8ewQ saying you have to disable the ea app overlay, and make a exe package to run a batch script, which didn't work either.

This is on linux mint cinnamon 22.1 with kernel v6.11.0-26, nvidia proprietary 550.144.03 driver.

I've tried proton experimental, and proton ge-10.4 aswell, no luck.

Haven't found a manner to get it working yet.

After the update today, I get this error when trying to login.

If you click on START NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS, there's something that says probe or something like that.

When I click on that, it said that there was a DNS problem, and asked to contact my provider.

But I then booted into Windows and I was able to play the game there.

So I went back into CachyOS. This uses systemd-resolved, so DNS queries are resolved by 127.0.0.53.

So I deleted my /etc/resolv.conf and re-made it like this: ameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

To point to explicit DNS servers.

Then tried to run the game again, and it didn't work.

The difference now is that even the probe thingy just hangs. It stays there like doing something, but does not print anything.

Have any of you seen this?

Any help is appreciated.

As A Windows User I Have Been Recently Thinking About Switching To Linux However My Main Problem Is Game Compatibility, Essentially On Games That Prevent Modified Versions From Running. Also If I Do Download Linux What Distro Is Beginner Friendly And Should I Just Dual boot?
