Vanilla settings (original, outdated)

Game hangs after showing a content garbled pop-up after launching, after dismissing the pop-up no subsequent window is initialized and nothing happened what-so-ever, the game stucks at "Running" state and requires killing the Devotion.exe process manually to shut it down.

UPDATE: I can make the OOPS popup content ungarbled via adding LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to the game's launch options:

After adding the PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 workaround the game errors with:

The game is probably missing some media decoding support libraries according to Shadows: Awakening (585450) - black screen · Issue #1102 · ValveSoftware/Proton

[brlin-tw]

The crash issue occurred using the vanilla launch options are resolved by installing the missing mesa-vulkan-drivers package, now both configuration hang with the aforementioned WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004001 message.

Successfully entered the game by installing MS Media Foundation mf via winetricks:

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1006510/pfx winetricks mf

Video doesn't work but the game seems okay to begin.

Sucessfully enter the game everything seems nice, but any 3d objects with skeletons didn't be displayed. My GPU is Intel HD 620.

After upgrade xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2:2.99.917+git1902202129.3a2dec17~b~padoka0

mesa to 1:19.1~git190220212700.f4f4ec9~c~padoka0

3d objects with skeletons are correctly displayed.

Finally the only issue is no ingame video playing (TV). It affects game playing. Here is a posible solution to
test

[brlin-tw]

For v1.0.5 the game does start-up properly with the in-game video playback issue, however the rendering is broken somehow:

Might be due to outdated kernel etc.

[medicalwei]

@Lin-Buo-Ren I think that is the issue @MGdesigner is mentioning about. Did you check your mesa, mesa-vulkan and xorg-Intel driver?

[MGdesigner]

@medicalwei I agree with you. This is my playing screen . The 3d displaying is flawless now. Only video playing trouble. Because the TV playing failed,the story progress crashed. Tapping TV didn't happen,so the story can't go further. The story is Interrupted while "7 stars stage" program first time shows in game.

@Lin-Buo-Ren You need to check your mesa, mesa-vulkan and xorg-Intel driver,but also if the newest xorg-Intel driver support your GPU.

[MGdesigner]

@Lin-Buo-Ren I use UNSTABLE padoka PPA now. You may try switch to it. And the game latest need NVIDIA GeForce 660 / AMD R9 270 . My GPU hd 620 is a little lower than it, but I guess that the game needs 3D abilities which opengl 4.4 owns.

Hello @MGdesigner, the link you posted is legally problematic and has been removed. Unfortunately, some Github snafu prevented me from editing out the link without deleting it entirely.

Previous post minus link:
After installing MF, we can watch the TV in the game, so Devotion totally can be played now.
