Issues fixed
Crash on startup
- If your monitor resolution does not match the game's or you are using a second monitor it will crash on load. This seems most common when your desktop is set to 1920x1080.
- There is also a problem where if your monitor is set to a refresh rate of 59 instead of 60 the game may crash.

In game videos glitching or not playing
- The FMV files use the wmv3 and wmap codecs for video and audio, which are not well-supported by some alternative codec packs like DirectShow. The game uses your computer's own installed codecs to play the videos.
Change WMV association[citation needed] |
---|
Change the default .wmv video player to Windows Media Player. |
Transcode FMV files with FFMPEG |

Disable in-game videos[citation needed] |

Rename FMV folder located in <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/ (to FMV_old, for example). |
