I'm attempting to get Ark: Survival Evolved to run in Chrossover on Mac. I created a new Steam bottle (set to Windows 10) and then also installed DXVK and DirectX for Modern Games (following this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TdCV7fn2CA&t=343s).
Steam opens up without issue. I installed Ark: Survival Evolved using Steam. When attempting to play the game (using the option to bypass Battleye) the splash screen appears with a blank/black background. This is normally when a video would play. After waiting about a minute an error message appears:
Assertion failed: SUCCEEDED(HResult) [File:F:\build\truckNew\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\WindowsMoviePlayer\Source\WindowsMoviePlayer\Private\WindowsMovieStreamer.cpp]
Clicking on the OK button on the error dialog box closes the game. Doing some research it appears the game is attempting to play some .wmv files. After opening a support ticket with CrossOver I received the following response:
"I filed a bug for this issue to have it investigated as it is not present on Steam Proton. There is not an immediate fix currently, however i have added this ticket to the bug so you can be notified when it's addressed."
