No Videos in Ceville

[MondPrinzessin]

Hi!

I have a problem with the Steam Version of Ceville. If I start the game, I hear sound but I dont see any videos. Not even the logos of the developer or something.

Has someone an idea how to fix this? I m using Windows 7.

Late reply.

I have the same issue.
Play Ceville in windowed mode to fix: Open \Libraries\Documents\Ceville\config.cfg and under [graphic] set full_screen=false.

I still get issues where sound drops out occasionally... need to quit and restart.

I can verify that this fix works in Windows 7. Setting the cfg file will always launch the game in window mode. Once I loaded my game, I would switch to full screen and when reaching the next movie, it would display fine.

I actually didn't notice at first because of the narration during the first movie. I just figured it was a narration over a black screen. Heh.

I'm having this problem too. Worked fine under Vista but now, under Win7, won't play video in fullscreen.

PhantomLord - How do you switch to full screen? There no windowed / fullscreen option in the in-game options.

Are we just supposed to maximize the window and play it that way?

This is really annoying - switch back to Vista just to play this game full screen?!

I think he meant maximize the screen.

Check if AA is turned off in the video drivers.

Alternatively, just go to your Steam\steamapps\common\ceville folder, right-click on Ceville.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Tick Disable visual themes, Disable desktop composition and Disable display scaling on high DPI settings > OK > Run from Steam as per usual.

Works like a charm here.

I did both the fullscreen thing and the compatibility thing when I bought this game on sale, it plays the movies okay but it crashes before I get out of the throne room. They need to release a Windows 7 compatibility update for this badly. I thought this game was only released this year o_O

I am a user of Windows 7 and I can confirm that this works. The game did crash on me once, but that could have been due to something else, and other than that I haven't had a problem.

I tried this solution also and it works for videos, but every time I load to a new chapter the game crashes. Anyone know how to fix that? :(
