En un inicio el juego no tenía ningún sonido, pero lo solucioné modificando uno de los archivos del juego
En algúnos momentos por ejemplo con el fuego obtengo bajones de FPS
Para solucionar el error de sonido seguí los pasos que mencionó otro usuario: Ir a la carpeta "SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/G String/gstringv2" y modificar el archivo gameinfo.txt, en concreto fue borrar la línea "Game |gameinfo_path|" que está dentro de "SearchPaths".
There was no audio until I applied the fix (see below for fix).
Minor issues where the settings menu is glitchy once a map has been loaded. Before loading a save game or starting a new game, the menu works. It stops working once a game has been loaded.
In 14 hours I believe there was 1 or 2 crashes. After resuming from saved game I could continue normally.
To make the audio work, do the following: Go to "steamapps\common\G String\gstringv2\gameinfo.txt" then delete the "Game |gameinfo_path|" line inside SearchPaths.
Only in Menus
The game has a bug, to get sound working, switch to Desktop Mode then open terminal in steamapps/common/G String/gstringv2/ (in Steam, right click G String > Manage > Browse Files, in Dolphin Right Click > Open Terminal)
then run python -m ensurepip && ~/.local/bin/pip install vpk && mkdir tmp && ~/.local/bin/vpk -x gstringv2_dir.vpk -x tmp -f "*sound*" && mv tmp/sound/* sound/ && rm -rf tmp
This will install vpk, a tool to extract the content and place the unpacked audio into the sound directory
Disable Steam Overlay while in-game, do not press the Steam button.
- Switch to Proton Experimental
- Disable Steam Overlay while ingame (crashes), don't push steam button
- Switch to "G String" community layout
- Extract audio from gstringv2_dir.vpk
- Enjoy!

With steam overlay on, very frequent crashes. Once desactivated, that problem is solved.

didn't finish the game yet, but had no problems after audio fix. had a crash during a loading screen once
no audio when starting the game. fixed following this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2933302421
Completlyt absent. The sound works from the fixed intro videos via Proton, but that's it.
Issues with video loading (that can be fixed via Proton), and incorrect rendering of the already hard to read font in the game settings.
Attempted various versions of Proton including 6.5-GE-2 and 6.14-GE-2
Something broke with recent update, in game console repeatedly states that audio files are missing
Too many problems.
No audio. Unpacking gstringv2_dir.vpk sound folder to the game's sound folder fix this.
Broken subtitles
Random crashes.
Menu settings change the directx level to 8. Have to change it back in the console.
Does not run correctly without quite a bit of tinkering, at least at the moment.
The only audio that plays is from the intro movies, which do not show. After that, the main menu nor the game itself have any audio.
Textures are completely missing, some models are wireframed, lighting effects do not work correctly and objects are brighter than they should be.
Proton-6.5-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Many crashes (including the one in the Smog Storm cutscene mentioned in the reports) were fixed for me by selecting Medium settings for shadows in graphics options.
Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF GloriousEggroll
Needed to launch game in windowed to not have it immediately crash, but could then go fullscreen
Consistent crash at the beginning of the chapter "smog storm" about 4 hrs into gameplay
Occasional crashes in levels with high ram usage
Someone please email me with a save file just past this cutscene at the start of smog storm, I beg you. I just want to finish the game
Game Breaking Bug 3 Hours in, Stuck in Room, TV Never Turns On.
Depending on which Proton version you use, there could be severe performance drops (as low as 15 fps).
Game breaking bug about 3 hours into the game. There is a TV screen in a room you drop into. It is supposed to talk to you and then open a door, but the audio never triggers and you are effectively stuck in the room. There is no problem on Windows (which I used to pass this part) but I noticed other similar trigger bugs like enemies not coming to life and just standing still when they were supposed to attack.
Not sure if mf-install or newest Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF fixed the missing audio issues, but the game is working great now. Audio works perfectly and the game appears to run decently smooth. Excited to play soon
Audio was missing, was either fixed by mf-install or the forked version of proton.
Had some issues with fullscreen that are fixed just running the game in windowed mode
A little bit of slowdown in intro cut-scenes (18 fps during scripted cinematics), but it runs great once I'm in game.
Still needs Media Foundation libraries manually installed and a custom launch option, runs fine with tweaks applied
"-novid" launch option to skip intro video
5.9-GE-8-ST GloriousEggroll
Game crashes on launch with "Couldn't find cinema.dll" without these; works with either GE Proton or using mf-install on vanilla Proton. Also need to use the -novid launch option or the game will crash to desktop instantly with no errors.
No audio played at all. Console constantly spammed "Failed to load sound" error. Subtitles also only appeared for a fraction of a second before disappearing, but I think this has to do with the audio issue.
Text has minor artifacting, especially at small font sizes, but this happens in all Source games in Proton.
I tried launching with GE Proton 5.9, as well as vanilla Proton in versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x (with MF DLLs installed as mentioned above), but all had the same issues.
Exit immediately, unable to work around
Exits to desktop shortly after starting. Upon trying Glorious Eggroll Proton 5.2 and 5.9, no success with same exit to desktop.
Using Proton 4.11-13, launches into black screen with error popup: "Error! Can't load cinema.dll"
Installing Media Foundation libraries(via "mf-install" script or other way) and passing "-novid" to disable startup video fixes game launching but no sounds can be played in-game or in the menu. Maps can be loaded and played but with the complete lack of sound. In-game console spams with "Failed to load sound ..." messages. Removing Source engine soundcache files with "find . -iname '*.cache' -delete" run from the game local files directory has no effect as well.
There's no sound in-game or in the menus
Small fonts are not rendered correctly
"Failed to load cinema.dll" messagebox error on game startup after creating a window and a subsequent crash.
cinema.dll is present in the "bin" folder, so I guess there are some missing runtime dependencies
