These files will not be played at all on a standard installation of the game using Proton.\r\n\r\nBecause I've seen multiple bug-reports with regards to .wmv file playback, I wanted to make a generic request, so it doesn't get lost in between all the specific game issues.\r\n\r\n## Justification [optional] <!-- Why integration in Proton instead of Wine? -->\r\n\r\nThere are multiple games which have .wmv file playback issues, these games use .wmv for cutscenes, and so are a integral part of the story and experience of the games which use it.\r\n\r\nFor #137 the fix for .wmv files would probably make the game ready for official whitelist process.\r\nThere might be other games which otherwise work perfectly after .wmv file playback is fixed.\r\n\r\nI don't know if the fix would be hard or not, it seems that there are some ways to get it working with winetricks and such, maybe it would be a matter of importing those settings/configurations into Proton.\r\n\r\nAt the very least integration in Proton would fix the issue for the games referenced below.\r\n\r\n## Risks [optional]\r\nThe fix for .wmv file playback might break something else in Proton. \r\nThere might be some other unknown risks associated with including the .wmv file playback, like for example patent/IP issues regarding including .wmv codecs/playback.\r\n\r\n## References [optional] <!-- Which issues are related? -->\r\n\r\nThe following games have issues with .wmv playback after a standard Proton install:\r\n#1455 \r\n#394 \r\n#345 \r\n#296 \r\n#208 \r\n#137 \r\n#90 "}}
