Intro videos not playing

Post by Edorf »

Not a game breaking issue here but still annoying.

I`m running WitE 2 on a laptop with a discrete Nvidia gfx card and integrated AMD graphics. The problem is that the intro videos does not play when the game is set to use the Nvidia gpu. I just get a black screen with sound only. The videos only play when the game use the integrated graphics.

I also have WitE 1 installed on the same laptop but it has no problem playing the videos when using the discrete Nvidia gpu.

The GPU is a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti card. The Cpu is Ryzen 5 5600H with integrated graphics. All the latest drivers are installed.

I have also tinkered with the compatibility settings but to no avail.

Do you actually want to have the video being played each time you start the game or are you just annoyed by the black screen?

If it's the latter: there is an option in the "Preferences" which says: "Show Videos" which disables the video on game start if deactivated.
