--- Comment #6 from Chiitoo escomk3@hotmail.com --- Of course I completely forgot the issues with the opening cinematics, or whenever the game wants to play videos. I still don't remember if the game actually crashed for me due to them, but that is what is mentioned over at the AppDB page for this title.
I also found quite a bit of 'winetrickses' in the prefix I use for Dark Souls, but I tried in a clean prefix just a while ago (using Wine Staging-2.4/Vanilla-2.5). It works, even the movie-like parts of it! (The audio seems to have some issues, cutting off at times, which requires more investigation.)
