When I begin a new save file of the game, the quote at the beginning plays just fine, however, the proceeding cutscenes either freeze on the first frame, play a few frames slowly and then freeze, or just don't show up altogether. The weird thing is, when I skip all the cutscenes, the game runs perfectly fine with no real problems. I'm running Windows 10 on an Acer Aspire 5 laptop, if that helps. Because the cutscenes should be the easiest thing to load imo, and again the game itself runs just fine, I sincerely doubt it's my pc.

Thanks. I'll do that.
