Issues fixed
Game crashes due to missing codecs
- The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly due to missing codecs. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
- This can be fixed by either using a dummy
mpeg.dllor removing the video files.
Install dummy mpeg.dll[1]
