Issues unresolved
Black screen when playing cutscenes
This is generally caused by codecs not being compatible with later versions of Windows. Versions such as Windows XP do have the codecs to run the cutscenes with no issues.
- Possible fix by installing MEGA K-Lite codecs pack (K-Lite Codec Pack Mega).
