I went to play Gothic 2, but whenever a cutscene plays there is just a black screen with the sound.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Using a vista 32-bit computer with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card. I tried running it as admin and running it in XP compatibility mode, but that didn't help.

Haven't ran into this problem with any other game.

Edit: I also tried messing with various video options in the game, but still running into the problem.

Refer to this thread for the solution.

This fix also works for the same problem with the first Gothic (also on GOG).

Disabling video scaling got it working. Is there a fix that wont change the size though? If not guess that'll have to do.

Setting antialising to "application-controlled" in your video card's control panel may work but it's not a guaranteed fix.

Fortunately there are only a few videos; most cutscenes are in-engine and so aren't affected by this problem.
Hello :)
