PayPalAnother smaller update is now available for Proton Experimental, the special version of Proton that has all the latest fixes first for you to try. Info: Proton is the compatibility layer you can use on Linux and Steam Deck to run Windows games.
For the June 14th 2022 update, this is newly playable:
- Karmaflow The Rock Opera Videogame - Act I & Act II
You will find these have their video playback fixed:
- POSTAL: Brain Damaged
- Turbo Overkill
- Slayers X Demo
Plus these titles got specific fixes too:
- Fix The Ball displaying error message on the first launch.
- Fix SCP: Secret Laboratory crashing on launch after a game update.
- Fix Bloons TD 6 crashing on touch input.
An additional change is that Proton Experimental will use "copy on write for prefixes on supported files systems". Update: plus, all changes from Proton 7.0-3 that was released later.
The changelog can be seen here at any time.

Why do the videos from Soul Calubur VI work on the Steam Deck but not on my normal Linux/Steam PC?

You might need to move / delete the prefix also check the proton version then run it.

For what it's worth, I just installed the game under Linux Mint XFCE and first-launching it with Proton Experimental it seems to work perfectly with videos. I did not try with any other proton version, as the Experimental one is currently set to default in my steam settings.
