Just verified, downloaded 282.8 MB, then loaded up Dark Souls 2. Black Screen and hear sound.

edit: Just tried to rename the intro move to prologue2 or whatever, made a new prologue.wmv file and still did not help fix the issue.

I fixed my stupid problem. I had to find GraphicsConfig.xml file and inside it, had to turn off Full Screen.

I've solved mine with the resolution, it seems my graphic card updated and messed up with my games
on C:\Users\<you_user>\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsII\GraphicsConfig.xml

the maximum resolution I've got was this
<config><Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>1280</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>720</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>
<Resolution-FullScreenWidth>2560</Resolution-FullScreenWidth>
<Resolution-FullScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-FullScreenHeight>

higher than that I would stay on the black screen, the full file looks like this for me

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<config><Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>1280</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>720</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>
<Resolution-FullScreenWidth>2560</Resolution-FullScreenWidth>
<Resolution-FullScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-FullScreenHeight>
<ChangeAllSettings>CUSTOM</ChangeAllSettings>
<TextureQuality>HIGH</TextureQuality>
<ShadowQuality>HIGH</ShadowQuality>
<EffectsQuality>HIGH</EffectsQuality>
<AnisotropicFiltering>HIGH</AnisotropicFiltering>
<WaterSurfaceQuality>HIGH</WaterSurfaceQuality>
<High-qualityCharacterRendering>HIGH</High-qualityCharacterRendering>
<ModelQuality>HIGH</ModelQuality>
<FullScreen>ON</FullScreen>
<Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>OFF</Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>
<Antialiasing>ON</Antialiasing>
<MotionBlur>ON</MotionBlur>
<CameraMotionBlur>ON</CameraMotionBlur>
<DepthOfField>ON</DepthOfField>
<SSAO>OFF</SSAO>
</config>

hope it helps someone in the future
