Game freezing for a few seconds whenever a video is played

Oaty-Ytao

As subject states, after installing FAF, anytime a video is loaded in for the game, I get a freeze of about 5-10 seconds. This includes both intro cutscenes and animated backgrounds on the menus.

Was working mostly fine prior to FAF installation.

Windowed mode is the only way to get this somewhat stable, though it has happened in windowed mode too.

PC specs:

5700X3D
3200MHz 32GB Corsair Ram
Nvidia 3080FE

Installed on NVME C drive. Running game in 4K max settings with stable performance in game. Issue occurs in full screen.

Also running latest Nvidia Drivers and Win11 update.

Can you share a game.log, please?

Sure, where is that located? Not had to do this before

Assuming it's related to this? warning: SofDec error: 1060102: Internal Error: adxm_goto_mwidle_border

I've added the line to the parameters to skip movies for now - "%s" /nomovie

Would love to help get this fixed fully? Assuming it's something to do with recent Nvidia drivers too?

Thank you, unfortunately the adxm_goto_mwidle_border-error occurred just recently, and TMK no one knows why it suddenly happens. The only known solution is the "%s" /nomovie, but I hope in the future there will be a fix or at least we figure out what causes it.

Edit: The developer team is aware of the issue, and are trying to do find the cause of it.

Noted, thanks.

It is worth mentioning that I did see some improvements on certain boots with Nvidia Display Container LS stopped within services.

Also ill note that it doesn't occur everytime. It seems like roughly 3-5 boots of the game have the issue, but with FAF closing the game frequently, it's more likely yo occur
