Hi Everyone,
I have a admitedly minor but very flustrateing problem here, mostly becuse it makes no sense why it is happening.
I have the double pack of DOW and Winter Assault and when playing DOW the Intro video basicly compleatly locks up for upto 4 seconds dureing playback(video and audio "pause") now the interesting thing is that before purcheseing this pack I played the DOW: Winter Assault Demo, which has the intro from Dawn bundled with it and that does not exibit this problem at all.
In an effort to correct this problem i swapped the relevant intro files from the Winter Assault demo to the retail installation thinking maybe that may fix the issue as the files from the demo while being the same size/type/content wise are seemingly created a month later to the files on the retail CDs.. this did however not fix the issue but weirdly just made the pause/glitch happen later in the intro. I also tryed swaping the Divx DLL from the Demo to retail install as well with the same results.
So I can realy only conclude that somehow there is a diffrence in the way the Dawn of War: Winter Assault Demo application plays the intro video and the way the Retail Dawn of War application plays it, although i realy have no clue as to what that would be.
I realize this may be a small issue to most but it realy bugs me that the Demo did not have this problem were as the Retail version does.
Any chance of someone looking into this.. being as i think ive been able to isolate it down enough with my discription so far so that a quick fix shouldnt be to hard ?
