Problem: The cinematics do not play well. The cinematics are more like a slide show, block or even exit the application.
Cause: the Bink player cannot play the movie optimally
Solution:
1) download and install the latest version of the binkw32.dll:
www.radgametools.com 2) download and install the latest drivers of your video card
3) on the ATI Radeon cards, setting the monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz solved the issue:
. a) right click on your desktop, select properties, settings
. b) click the advanced button, and choose monitor
. c) set the refresh frequency to 60 Hz, test and apply
4) if nothing helps, prevent the movies to run by deleting all files *.bik from the Static sub folder in Divine Divinity's install directory. You will not be able to see to cinematics, but you will be able to play the game.
