client closes with missing media foundation
MotoFckr9k
When trying to play a video on a client that doesn't have media foundation installed, VRChat just closes.
European windows versions do not come with media foundation installed. There is also no known way to work around this issue on linux.
It would be really cool if the video player would just throw an error without closing the game.

owlboy is correct, in our latest Open Beta changelog, we note this.
In the case of unsupported operating systems without access to WMF (Windows 7, Linux via Proton), this issue won't be fixed. We'll try to address the crash, however.
For Windows N, you will need to install the Media Feature Pack: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack

Would installing this fix the issue (for Windows N)? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack
