I watched the cut scene all the way through the first time and got the black screen. I skipped in the second time when it got to a point where I could and still got stuck on the black screen with the gold icon in the lower right corner. I let that sit thinking it might just be loading. Came back an hour later and it was still stuck.
Changing the screen resolution is a no go. My desktop is 2560x1440 and if I try to go lower in the game it crashes at start and I have the missing desktop issue that started all this. I tried disabling vsync and a few other things as well. I also tried lowering the graphics setting down a notch or two as well. Maybe I should just go all the way down to the minimum.
About the only thing I have not tired is changing the video files names so the game skips them. That's next on my list.
I will post what happens after I try a few more things.
EDIT: Renaming the two video files did the trick. A few taps on the Esc key to get past a few places the game hangs up after the video of the Divine stuck in his crystal jail cell and I am in FoV with my character from ED.
Thanks for that tip about the two video files!
