Cant start mission 3: dmc 1.

[-=Cloud Windfoot Omega=-]

SO i have tried everything, i deleted the game and reinstalled, replayed the game from the start up to 3
checked integrity

Nothing.
So here is what happens. I press "Start mission", and rather than playing the cutscene of Dante walking through the door, i get direct control of Dante, but he is stuck somewhere offscreen. I cannot see him, and have full control of him, as i can hear him attacking, moving jumping and shooting.

You're in the main hall area. Mission 3 takes place in the cathedral. Idk how you backtracked that far without noticing. I literally just played through the game with no issues up until mission 20ish (a late boss fight) Try restarting the game from mission one.

side question Have you ever played this game before?

fully beat it, playing because its been a long time

but the problem I am having is that i am having is that i have as i already stated " replayed the game from the start up to 3"

but no matter what I do, when i begin the mission, it does not play the starting cutscene, and the picture is the only screen.

will later show in video format to make it easier to understand.

Sorry about the sound, forgot to change the record settings for it. But basicly shows how it misloads, music just plays the main hall theme and you can hear Dante shoot and slash a few times as I control him.

This may seem odd, but did you try to exit the cathedral and proceed to bridge? Since you have a full control over Dante, it should trigger a load screen or something. If not, then try verifying the game's files, or save file may be corrupted.

EDIT: Question is.... is Dante even in the cathedral?

few things to that end
I cant see Dante, so i have no idea where he actually is, but seems to be stuck in a single spot.
Verified, replayed from mission 1 too.

If you move Dante too much, it also locks you out of the menu

ended up fixing it by, installing it to a diffrent drive and purging all but the save file, including confiurations

not sure which fixed it

I had this same issue and I resolved it by removing my DDMK installation for DMC1. I might have been using an old version, this might be fixed on the latest version of DDMK

[gold ;(]

Yeap I had that problem too because of ddmk using arcade section (not recommended)

thank you very much for posting the solution to the problem, i was about to tear my hair out. confirmed that removing DDMK fixed it.
