Ok, I have hunted and searched on the forums and have been unable to come to a solution to my problem.
When opening the game, I am greeted by a black screen and then taken to the "New Game/Continue" screen, which is visually fine. Selecting "New Game" greets me with a black screen and no more.
This sounds like a codec issue to me, but I haven't found the right codec I guess. The videos will not play in WMP (I am using WMP9). I have installed the latest codec package for the player and still nothing.
I was going to attempt to install Ficedula's cetra 0.2 patch (after I solved this problem) and unfortunately, the .exe asks for "Ficedula.dll" which I do not have. --edit-- I didn't see the link on her page, durh.
I'm unsure where to go next, or which codec I need. I have managed to get it looking better (Cloud's sword at the new/continue screen) so it appears as though the other patches work for the most part.
If this is misposted in the wrong forum, my apologies.
Thanks in advance.
--edit--
I installed the following codec packages from microsoft (click) (all three)
I am running WinXP 2600 build (sp1)
Radeon 9000 (driver set 6368 www.s-seven.net)
Windows Media 9
P4 2.53, 512 ram

Ok, it appears as though it did not like me trying to direct the movie path to my disk drive, as reinstalling made it "work" Now I have to solve that one, perhaps I put the path in the wrong place.
