Game is unplayable due to new windows update. "Active Movie Window"

[8ava]

Upon launching the game,
the avi videos that play before gameloading now open in a completely separate window (that you can close prematurely).
Upon finishing both videos, it will give you a Memory Access Violation, and close the game instantly.

I haven't been able to find a way around this without actually modifying the games code.
pls fix i cant play :(

You can workaround this issue by opening "options.ini" file and setting "play startup videos" parameter to "false"
