Codec files arrested charged with screwing up game

How is it you are not sure it's me

Come on man, I am the most despised wargamer in the entire hobby (according to a small handful of miscreants).

How could you not know me (according to their creatively warped logic ).

Been able to play SPMBT but it has been spotty in the past.
I have dabbled with going back to Win98SE, with dual booting the system to allow for multiple OS installs (which would include Win98SE) as well as doing the labourious tweaking of the install before they gave us this recent version.

Results were often patchy at best, and usually unsatisfying.

But I have played it off and on over the years, just never really a lot.
Modern is usually 2nd fiddle to my playing WW2 settings.

I thought it might have been my Celeron, but indicators are it is one of several codec files I use to run largely obscure video files. I will likely do a purge of the codecs and see who was responsible. As I was running the game just fine through all the other installs right up till I got around to reloading the codec files.
I usually don't put a lot of thought into codec files.
This would be a first time that they have messed with something I cared a hoot for.

Gotta adjust the notion that codec files are just codec files now I suppose. Too used to deciding "oh need this codec to run this video", and installing it with no thought about it.
