Default Re: Game start issue

I never show the splash screen, so I just put it back on to test.

It first came up with a reduced window, inside something called an "active movie" on the title bar

But we use DirectShow, no "active movie" thing, whatever the heck that is!

I exited the game and on a whim tried again. That time, it came up as a stretched full-screen window with no borders and continued on doing so.

I then went to MBT and tried - after setting "show intro" to yes, it came up with the weird active movie window in a titled unstretched window. Exit the game fully & restart - and back to proper functionality

I think windows 11 updates may have gotten confused or updated something in DirectX

As to why you get black window - no idea, but probably related. Maybe your PC does not handle this "active movie" thing that briefly tried to take over DirectShow. Try again - and try switching "show intro" on and off and exit the game and do a full restart?

But its a Windows 11 thing, not us as DirectShow is a fundamental part of DirectX that has been around 20 or more years and is used all over the place by games and educational softwares, etc!
