additionally game crashes when I start the game (after character creation, I
can perfectly create a character).

The problem is caused by the .wmv files that has the cutscenes. Problem can be
fixed by changing their extensions to .mp4s.

Good that you found a workaround, but nothing was fixed in Wine. Do you know if
it works on Windows without renaming those files? If yes then it is still a
valid bug.

I think this bug is caused by the fact that wine doesn't come with Windows
Media Player by default. Because .wmv files cannot be opened by quartz or
Direct Music.

I can confirm this game does not crash after changing settings or after
starting the game.

There's definitely other issues such as game not really starting (after a muted
cutscene with no audio screen remains black), but doesn't crash!

According to comment #6 still troubles occur, maybe wait with resolving until
someone else confirms it`s not crashing (????)

The purpose of this bug is the crash. Minion declared crash does not occur
anymore. So this bug is fixed following the wine bugzilla policy. Maybe, minion
could be interested in opening a new bug report for the remaining issues.

joaopa is correct. I was just browsing through some tickets to see what can be
closed.

The devs are probably already aware dark souls has issues granted the numerous
issues posted on proton and they're already working on getting video playback
working, so i feel like an extra bug report is really not necessary.
