BTW if i am the only one complaining about this issue and noone can replcate the problem, no need to spend too much time resolving this, i can live with 18.56 😉 But you are aware that at least 2 PCs have problems playing videos with 18.64 I could have tried to put an AMD card in one of the 2 PC or downgrade driver version to confirm but i think i'll keep the 18.56 for now, it takes me too much time to debug this, and as i'm the only one impacted, i'm going to move on to something else Thanks for help your Tom & Draco, it's really appreciated

I have tested on two PCs : My game PC has 2 graphics cards, a 4070 and a 1030 from nvidia The second PC, for tests, has a 3070 Ti card from Nvidia Drivers are up to date on the 2 PCs I can replicate the problem on the 2 PCs No event in the event viewer on the 2 PCs when black screen appears with 18.64 I don't know what could be wrong between 18.56 and 18.64

18.56 works but 18.64 doesn't work, something is broken on 18.64 i think

I downgraded to 18.50 on the second machine and video are working, and there is a trace in the log. Then i updated to 18.64 and black screen again with no trace in the log EDIT : 18.56 is working too, but not 18.64

Yes but it's the same I tried to install Gamex, fresh install on another standard machine (Win 11 pro 23H2, like other system ) and it's the same, no log of launching video with black screen. Could it be Win 11 related ?

I've updated my graphic card driver, disabled the second one, but it's the same. I don't know what is causing this issue, it's a bit strange. I'll try other tests EDIT : Added a video of the problem ( you could see that my screen is very dirty 😅) Video Problem.mp4

No videos works like avi, mpg mkv from 320x240 to 1080p When i launch a video, there is fade zoom then black screen, and if i push back button, fade zoom and return to video menu I think it was working with this setup before on Windows 11, it's been a while since i played a video, but preview was always working. I'll update my graphic drivers.

Yes , just black screen, it doesn't freeze Gameex, as i can return to the video menu with back button I don't use the video information search function Is there some files in the AppData folder to clean ? I don't see a Gameex folder there

I've installed a fresh 18.64 version in another folder with default setup, just changing the video path but it's the same. I have as specific setup with 2 Video cards, could this be a problem ?

Yes, as you can see there is no trace of launching a video Perhaps i can try a fresh install but i don't want to lose my setup

I want to use the internal player if possible, external one was just for testing purpose. With default theme it doesn't work EDIT: I use custom theme that's perhaps the problem GameEx.ini log.txt

Hi, It's been a while since i played a video on my mamecabcab but it seems to no longer work. I'm on Win11Pro, i tried to change codecs (Shark, K-Lite), change theme to default one, use an external player (VLC and MPC-HC ), but nothing is launched, i just get a black screen Video preview is working well strangely, so surely not a codec problem. I can play video outside of Gameex Without problem Is this function broken on 18.64 ? Thanks

A little update with a video if it can help to identify the problem First part, i try to switch screen at Gameex Main screen, you can see that the display is frozen on TV, but when i revert it to the CRT, Gameex main screen is working again. So no crash, but unusable on TV Second part, i launch a game, so my script to switch screen is launched before the game via advanced emulator config, and we can see that it switch to TV and then crash when launching game surely because display is frozen. Let me know if you think it can be fixed or if it is too specific to my setup to be resolved Thanks 653904266_CrashSwitchingScreen.mp4

Tom, i've tested with the new dll but it's the same, Gameex directx crash error when switching screen

Ok thanks Draco, I've tried on another PC to switch screen between two LCD monitor at 1920x1080, with one graphic card ,and the problem doesn't appear, Gameex works without problem switching from one screen to the other one. On the PC that has problem switching screen i use a GTX 1030 for the CRT and a RTX 3070ti for the TV. Both use the same Geforce driver So yes the problem seems to appear specifically with 2 gaphic cards
