FMV and titlescreen are black on first load

[alfrix]

Seems like something is not properly initialized
Workaround
load the first level (skip videos)
and now exit to titlescreen from the inventory
Notice that the titlescreen now works, go to "start game" and the fmv now plays corrtectly

3.5 years later it'd be nice to see some effort into resolving this. The standalone versions by XProger don't have this issue, only the libretro core. It's annoying to have to start the game blind every time to load a level, then exit back to titlescreen to get it to load properly.

This problem still persists in December 2025.

Hi,

Can you reproduce the issue with latest update ?

If not, please close this issue.

Thank you.

I have updated the core to the latest version and the problem still persists. I even downloaded the latest RetroArch version and tried to run the games on a fresh install of RetroArch but it still gives a black screen. I also tried gl, glcore, vulkan and dx11.
Note that the FMVs play just fine when I use the openlara.exe to run the games instead of RetroArch.

Ah seems like only the linux version was built.
