Game crashes after estelle asks the boy for his name.

The screen stays black. I tried window mode an got the same result.

There should be an opening after that. Try disabling opening video in config tool.

Most of these problems stem from codec packs, like if someone has FFDshow. They'd need to disable the video and audio for the game in FFDshow.

This will be fixed eventually tho right?

[Achiel]

Hopefully, most people if they were to use a codec pack go for KCP now over CCCP.

If it IS a problem with codecs on your system, then it will probably not. You can't prevent a broken OS to screw with other software.

Hopefully everyone will use a player with embedded codes and ditch codec packs altogether.

[Jadesie]

tbh, I dont know anything about codec packs.

I disabled the opening movie. The game loaded through. I hope I wont crash while watching other movie sceens in the game.

There aren't any more. There's only Falcom logo and opening.

Don't worry. Everything else in the game is in the in-game engine. There should be a movie at the end of the game,but I think it's handled differently than the logo and opening.

Just curious, does the trailer for SC count as a movie that will affect some people. (the one that appears after the ending in the psp version.

That's what I was referring to with the 'handled differently' video. It's completely different in the context of the game's system. I don't think the video file itself even has audio (handled by separate files- which is what SC does for the several videos in it)? I could be wrong on this, though, and can't check myself. (I'm not at my home computer to check the files.)

I think the only reason that there's no option for it in the config is that Falcom made the ending of this game 100% a surprise. They gave no hint of it in any way, and by putting an option for it in the config menu, it would give away that it even existed. I'll poke around later when I'm home to see if I can find out anything about the ending video.

Thanks to all of you for helping out :)

Not a problem! I hear that disabling ffdshow helps with the video loading, if you haven't tried that, as well. If not, I've also seen people talk about having luck with it while running the klite codec pack, as well.

Good to know, it would be a shame if some people had to miss that trailer and didn't know about the fact that SC exists and will be localised soon.
