A number of problems

[cwassall]

Hello,

I've just reinstalled my OS after having various unrelated issues... but now the intro video does not play and I have no sound at all (openal is installed).

I also find that characters, especially archers, don't render most of the time. All I can see is bow and quiver floating around unless I get really close (like standing on top of them).

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you!

I can't help with anything else - but the intro video got taken out along time ago.

Not the NGD one, the little blue man...

EDIT: I get a black screen where the video should be, hitting ESC takes me to the loading screen and the char select screen.

the intro with the ngd guy is nothing more than a ogg vid you should be able to open a file manager and view it with movie player if that don't work then that might explain the rest of your problems corrupt files

Works fine in a file manager and video player, but in-game its a black screen with no picture or sound. The game itself is fine (except the invisible archers), although still without sound.

If I remember right, when using 16 bit and/or safemode, intro does not appear. I cannot guarantee you 100% though.
