Enhanced Edition - Chapter summary bug (?)

In the Enhanced Edition you get a summary by Dandelion after each chapter.

I just finished the Prologue and had a summary, but it had black screen, only Dandelion talking.

Now, I wonder if someone got past further in the game and can confirm this:

Is the screen black and I hear VO only because we haven't met Dandelion yet and next chapters are summarized with visuals?

or

It's a bug? Could this be linked to the "corrupt file" error while patching?

Thanks in advance!

first of all, if you installed the patch and got the corrupt error and ignored it you will surely encounter problems. For that you should download part 1 and 2 from http://en.thewitcher.com/ee_manual/ put them in the same directory where you have the rest of the files of the patch (overwrite those two files) and re install the patch.

If that wasn't your problem or you had that already fixed the black screens during cutscenes happen mostly for people using 16/10 aspect ratios, if that's you're case change it to 16/9 and see if it helps

I don't know what might be causing this for you, but that summary is supposed to have visuals and a voice-over by Dandelion. Quite nicely done, I must say, so I hope there's a fix.

I have the same problem, I stopped playing for now until someone finds the reason why is this happening. I have steam edition.

EDIT: I just switched to 16:9 ratio from 5:4 which I was using and cutscene played normally. I suppose game has some problems with playing videos in ratios other than 16:9, so if anyone has this problem, your best bet is to switch to 16:9

I had this bug on the Steam version of Witcher 2.

First of all, thank you for your responses!

I confirm, switching to 16:9 solved the issue, weird bug.

I'm really glad, the summary is worth watching, great stuff indeed!

Yep, can't see the summary at 5:4. My FPS also got a little higher after switching to 16:9. So if I can get used to play with huge black bars on the screen, I'm good to go.
