Shadows: Awakening black screen on startup

[mozo78]

The game starts and it actually doesn't freeze. The DXVK HUD shows FPS are changing but the screen is black and it ain't goes any further. I waited for 10 minutes to no avail. A tried to install DX and to disable nvapi/64 also.

The black screen is to be expected because the game doesn't even try to render anything. Does it work with wined3d?

[mozo78]

Nope, here it is the wine log:

Hm. Do you have access to a Windows machine to record an apitrace on that OS? There's no indication of what might be wrong, but it's not a rendering issue because, as mentioned, the game doesn't actually render anything.

I'm very sorry but I don't use Windows.

Here is a windows trace of the game : https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Qnn6xt9cwujWTualVgyYOcN-IHDdMbN/view?usp=sharing
It is replaying fine though. Could be a wine issue.

Probably the videos of logos and intro?

[mozo78]

This is the first thing I thought of but I couldn't find anything for no intro fix on the net.

This game needs MS Media Foundation to play intro videos. @lieff managed to play it, described here: ValveSoftware/Proton#1102 (comment)

Not my bug then, closing.
