Bug ID: 56712 Summary: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines intro videos are not displayed Product: Wine Version: 9.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: accounts.winehq.org@vv221.fr Distribution: ---
The introduction videos of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines are played with a black screen. Video is not rendered, but audio is played.
Starting the game in a virtual desktop does not help, it only replaces the black screen with the blue background of the virtual desktop.
The videos can still be skipped, so this does not prevent reaching the game menu and starting a game.
All GStreamer plugins are installed (base, good, ugly, bad, libav).
Despite the bug metadata being set to WINE 9.8, the current 9.9 build is affected too (but is not proposed when opening a new bug report).
This behaviour has been noticed on a Wayland setup with an AMD GPU and Mesa drivers. I should be able to try reproducing it on X.org and with nVIDIA non-free drivers too, I will report back once it is done.
The videos used to be played correctly on the same computer, but I would need to run more tests to ensure this is a WINE regression and not a Mesa or GStreamer one.
