Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

No. Afair I came from 19.61.

Copies attached. Normally in the upper left corner there were short videos playing, showing the games running. GameEx.ini log.txt

Since version 19.62, videos are no longer played. See also the left upper area at the attached screenshot.

Works fine now! Many thanks for the fast reply and fixing!
