      I launch the launcher, then launch the game, and the screen goes black and doesn’t advance to the menu. CPU usage is zero, and Windows 10 says it’s not responding.

      Anyone have the same thing?

          That was it, thanks. I must’ve looked at the patch tool five times and missed that option every single one.

              Is this a codec error too? I get sort of the same issue, but related to sound. (I think) I tried disabling the intro video, but no luck.

              The software runs but it only runs in the taskbar. Whenever I try and switch to the BMS window it plays a short sound and then drops to the taskbar again. (Same in both 64 and 32)
              I’m on Windows 7 - GTX 660

              From user logs:

              EDIT: Installed codecs as described here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23337-Videos-not-playing
              Restarted and now everything is running!
