Cutscenes not working

When I get to the point in the story when the cutscene should start, there is a black screen with only "F" to skip. The same happens when I enter "The story so far" (meaning screen freezes and the only thing I can do is hit "F").

There was no problems with it in the EA.

Seems to be some issues with this. What platform are you on, Steam, GoG or Gamepass? Might help the devs to figure out where the issue is.

Had it happen to me once so far. Just going back to the previous autosave had it work normally on the second attempt.

Steam, tried DX11, DX12, same thing.
I tried previous autosave, did not help. Strange thing is that in "story so far" all of them behave in the same way

Are playing on Linux via Proton by any chance? We identified an issue over regarding videos.

This is the case for me to. PC Game Pass version. Also; when are you releasing 1.0 (steam version) on Game Pass?

Same. Win 10. Gamepass. Ultrawide.

Later in the game it became worse. Missed the final 10 to 12.

are there any solutions so far?

Win 10, Game pass, nothing too special. Happend few times, but after certain point no video is being played. Additional edit: Even if I go into "story so far" and try to start cutscene from there it doesn't play
Additional info: Just checked the install directory. The movies and the audio file (interestingly they are separated) are in there and can run them from their directory. Just not from ingame.

Uninstall your Codec Pack.

then none of them would work, the funny thing is that when they started to have issues, I think it jumps from 21 to 26 in file name. So what I did was just watched the movies out of game where it would play ingame

For me they play from "story so far" but some didn't run when they were supposed to. Since you guys say that audio and video is separated, it looks like it doesn't have enough time in the code to load both files and that it varies from machine to machine, some slower some faster.

I had the same problem under Win10 with Steam, the issue was that the optional "Media feature pack" was missing. After installing, everything works fine - maybe helpful for someone.
