I am trying to run Overseer, but keep getting an error along the lines of MPEG2 will not activate. The game tells me to check my video driver. The only option there is "Primary display driver". I am running an AMD graphics card.

Any help on this?

sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/ down load this, when you installed overseer you probably told it not to allow ffdshow which is the decoder to run the game.

I am having the same issue. I have downloaded the ffdshow from sourceforge but now the game crashes when it tries to start. I am trying to the run the game on windows 8.1 with a Nvidia card. I have looked in many places for a fix for this and have not found any thing that will allow the video to play in game.

open up the video config folder on ffdshow & make sure you have a tick next to mpeg2
Wow! Not sure what change between then and now but I installed ffdshow first and installed Overseer and now the video works perfect in game. Thanks!
I had the same problem, now instead of the MPEG2 error, I get a C++ runtime error.
it work for me (win10 x64). Thank you
I was also getting the C++ error after installing ffdshow, but I figured out how to fix it.

1. I opened the Start menu, and in the ffdshow folder, I clicked Video Decoder Configuration.
2. It opened in the Codecs section, but if it doesn't for you, click Codecs in the left segment.
3. I scrolled through the codecs in the right segment to find MPEG2.
4. In the MPEG2 row and the "Decoder" column, click "libmpeg2".
5. A drop-down window appears, click "libavcodec".
6. At the bottom, click Apply and then OK.

Overseer started working for me at this point. Hope this helps.
