Black Screen after ffdshow was installed.

Post by Mordan »

Hello,

I installed ffdshow in order to install some video codecs.

However now when I launch PzC:

I see the slitherine logo
then I only see a black screen. I still hear music.
when I move the mouse of the Exit "button", the button is made visible.
previously there was a blue FFa icon shown in the task bar whenever I launched PzC. Now it is not there anymore.

Cheers

Some codec packs are well known to break Windows MCI which is essential for Panzer Corps.
Rename "Video" folder to "_Video" and check if it's fixed.
