Boot up the game in game mode, only had black screen. Using desktop mode, you can view the game, but once you're at the game selection screen, you lose control of the gamepad input and can not select any of the two game to boot up.
mesa_glthread=fallse %command%
I had to do a few things to get it working. In the game properties, enter "mesa_glthread=false %command%" into the launch options and set compatibility to GE-Proton7-43. After this is done, go to desktop mode and launch the game. Click on the "..." button, go to the battery settings and enable "Screen Tearing".
The last step is to launch the game in desktop mode. You will need a mouse to do this part. Once the game is open and you can select any of the two games, go into the game options, and set the graphic settings to run in "Fullscreen". Once this is done, you will be able to play the game in Game Mode.
In desktop mode, once you reach the two game selections to play, the game will suddenly lose focus making your Steam Deck input revert to desktop mode and you are no longer able to interact with the game. You must connect your mouse to the Steam Deck to partially interact with the game with only confirm button aviable.
The game will only display pitch black in Game Mode since the game is in window mode, and require to be set to Fullscreen to work. However to set it to Fullscreen, you need to enter the game with Desktop Mode but the Window Mode causes the game to lose the Steam Deck gamepad input at the game selection screen. You must use a mouse and keyboard to go into the graphic setting to set the game to run in Fullscreen.
You will suddenly lose control of your Steam Deck input at the game selection screen.
Games requires tinkering, otherwise you will be stuck with a pitch black screen with audio upon initial boot-up in Game Mode.
I play the game at 6 TPD and underclock the gpu to 200mhz, allowing me to play for 5+ hours.
After spending hours thinkering to fix the movies problem while using the latest proton didn't work at all, even using my experience with ProtonTrick used to play visual novel games with video codec issues, none solve the movie scene from Ys on the Steam Deck. The best solution that did work was suggested by Sover, and it work right out the box without doing any other complicated tinkering.

The usual small text
Game starts off in Window Mode, so the mouse coordination does not scale to match the new resolution.
Game must run in Fullscreen for the mouse coordinates to function properly.
Video would freeze
