Hello,

I'm playing Psychonauts (in French) on Fedora 24 x86_64 (more exactly korora 24).

I could play more than 1 hour without problem, but now I'm stuck with the advanced training, I just have to speak to Sacha to enter his brain.

But the cutscene just crash, (Segmentation Fault). What is even more strange, is that if I reach Level 10 and I want to speak to Dr Fuller to get my new power the cutscene crashes too !

At first, I thought it was due to the libraries embedded with the GOG release, so instead of passing through the wrapper "start.sh", I launched directly the game binary, but the problem still occur.

Any Advice ?

P.S : I can share saved games if necessary

EDIT : It seems related to language, indeed if I switch to English, the cutscenes load well and I can continue the game ... But In French & German some cutscenes doesn't load properly ...

It's kind of late but I had the same problem and I found this page looking for a solution so here is how I solved it:

1.- Open a terminal and cd to the directory your game is installed on (in my case it was ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Psychonauts )
2.- Find the problematic file ( in my case, WorkResource/cutscenes/prerendered/firestartingmeritbadge.bik
3.- Replace the problematic file by copying another cinematic (.bik) file from the same directory and renaming it to the same name of the problematic file. For example:

mv WorkResource/cutscenes/prerendered/INTRO.bik WorkResource/cutscenes/prerendered/firestartingmeritbadge.bik


This way you will still be unable to see the original cinematic but you will be able to continue playing.

The game should be printing some log to stdout, so it should not be difficult to find the problematic file

You should be able to play it with a movie player; it just won't play in-game (apparently; I don't have this problem myself, yet). mplayer and vlc both play the video you replaced for me. So you are not completely unable to see the original cinematic.

Also, use cp or ln -s rather than mv. Also, keep the old file around somewhere in case you want to view it or whatever.
