The game requires native media foundation DLLs as far as I know. This is not a DXVK bug.

I installed it using Winetricks but nothing changed.

You can't install it using Winetricks. It installs only mf.dll, not full set

mf.dll
mferror.dll
mfplat.dll
mfreadwrite.dll
msmpeg2adec.dll
msmpeg2vdec.dll
sqmapi.dll

which is needed. In other words, this game currently not supported by wine.

I found similar issue at Winehq https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43814
which is 1 year old. another game that will not be fixed!

If you have dlls from win7, you can try them ValveSoftware/Proton#1102
But there may be more issues after mpflat one.

@lieff

Now the game crashes instead of loading forever.

[lieff]

¯_(ツ)_/¯
It can be because of denuvo protection.

I opened an issue about this problem at Winetricks: Winetricks/winetricks#1132

I think they will fix it faster than WineHQ.

[Ahmed-E-86]

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard starts after modifying some lines to the old fix toni did before.

The modified script (without any dlls from Windows) :
python-installcab-master.zip

PS: This fix could work with all game that require Windows Media Foundation.

You need to write:
winetricks mf
export WINEPREFIX=/The/Location/Of/The/Game/Prefix
./install-mf-64.sh
You need to copy mfplat.dll version 12.0.7601.23471 (Windows7 64bit) to the game folder

Did you try the Gold Edition?

Did you try the Gold Edition?

No, I didn't. What is the difference between them?

[mozo78]

I don't know but it doesn't run :D It's with more DLCs and is bigger than the normal release. Obviously it has some additional content :)
