I just tried some things, and one of those happened to work :)
See below.

If the game videos play as black screens with sound in the background, try this.

- Go into the VIDEO subfolder of the game
- Find the file startup.vps - make a copy of it if needed
- In each line starting with PlayVideo change COLOR_24BIT to COLOR_16BIT
- Repeat as above for the file campaign.vps

Videos should now play, but expect some possible color degradation because they are now likely forced to play with just 16Bit colors.

Hope that helps :)

Works a treat, Thanks!! :)
Worked for me, too. Thank you :)
Thanks, worked for me. Would be nice if GOG got try help push for an update that integrates this. It's always a good thing when games just work fully without users having to tweak things.
Works perfectly for me too, thank you very much !

Replacing RES_640x480 with RES_800x600 fixed the problem for me without reducing the colour depth. :)
