Black screen after match and black title intro (PC)

[Ol Clappy Cheeks]

I'm getting a black screen after each match that soft locks the game and the intro cinematics are black too but skippable. I'm running Win 10, GPU 3070 RTX, CPU i9-9900k, all drivers up to date. Any fix for this?

Interesting. I've heard of this on Linux and the fix was to just change Proton versions, but Win 10 is a new one.

It's super rare these days but you are likely missing a video codec.
Back in the day I would have solved this with CCCP. You can still find old versions out there, but it hasn't been updated in like 9 years.

That's probably the only source that you might not have to run through a virus scan, though if you want to anyway, go for it.

I'd give that a shot,

Honestly I think you're right. My wallpaper engine failed to load 2 of my wallpapers and I'm getting a weird codec error in the log file in wallpaper engine, I bet it's related. It really does seem like the game is just failing to load like a video in game or something. Thanks.

I'll try that pack. I wonder if there's a place I can go to see what codecs I'm missing or something.

Shouldn't the game include the codec? I thought only old school games relied on system codecs for video decoding? The pack your recommended didn't work and I also tried K-lite Codec Pack which is a more modern pack. I might try reinstalling the OS at this point much as I'm not looking forward to it.

For any linux users that are playing, I was able to fix the black screen issues by using GE-Proton9-20. You can install GE with ProtonUp in your package manager and switch to that compatibility tool. Manjaro btw and loving it
