Already tried proton ge as suggested?

I tried the suggestion to use media foundation overrides:

https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install

But that only helped audio, not video.

I fail to find a suggestion that is about mf without suggesting proton-ge too.
Indeed, the script readme itself suggests to not use it alone anymore:

Quoting: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installI would reccommend trying games with latest Proton Experimental, Proton-GE, or Proton-tkg first, and only using this as a backup.

So, what about the whole proton-ge?

I saw somewhere even GE developer saying not to use proton-ge for non Steam games for some reasons. What kind of patches are missing in Wine that are needed then?

Wine-GE github page mentions that Wine-GE contains "additional media foundation patches for better video playback support" not included in Valve's proton though Everspace 2 is not listed as supported. If I am not mistaken, Valve's direction is replacing problematic video files with re-encoded videos in newer proton builds.

Wops, I missed you were using the GOG version.
However, I don't know of any downsides about using GE with it, but I may be wrong.

If you're asking me, I've no idea.
But if you're really interested, you can build latest proton-ge, verify that it works as intended, and then try to bisect till a point where it acts like wine for videos, then you'll have an answer :)

If he did, he probably didn't mean the builds he specifically puts out for use in Lutris or other non-Steam platforms. Might be worth trying the game with the latest wine-ge-proton binaries and, if it works, looking for relevant patches in the repository.

May be it's this one: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/blob/master/patches/proton/30-proton-mediafoundation_dllreg.patch

Or one of the mfplat (Media Foundation Platform) patches right after that one.

That's some massive patch.

I wonder why they can't just use ffmpeg to begin with instead of gstreamer and avoid this kind of stuff.
