Instructions:

• Unzip and copy the MoM_fix_videos.sh file to your "/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/The Dark Pictures Anthology - Man of Medan/" directory
• Make the MoM_fix_videos.sh file executable
• Open up the terminal, navigate to the games folder and run the MoM_fix_videos.sh script "./MoM_fix_videos.sh"
• Wait.. this will take a few minutes
• When done, you will see that the broken videos have been replaced and the old ones have been renamed to something.bak. And the fixed videos will play with VLC (the old ones didn't).

Additionally if you use a CPU with more than 8 cores you have to set a Steam launch option to limit the number of cores/threads used (otherwise the game crashes). See https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install/issues/44

Also make sure that vim-common is installed.

Note: This fix is no longer necessary and should not be used with version v1.19 or later of the game!

Only keeping this up for legacy purposes for those that preferred the older version of the game.
