Issues fixed
Black screen when playing FMVs
- This is generally caused by DirectShow codecs on Windows 10 being incompatible with Nvidia desktop drivers. Versions such as Windows XP do have the codecs to run the cutscenes with no issues.
| Gemini's patch makes FMV work again by replacing DirectShow with FFMPEG.[2] |
