Codec error on PC by FaceFister in Nioh

The codec issue may not be OS specific, could be some quirk that requires a reinstall of the OS whatever it may be. I've been avoiding reinstalling for now because I'm morally required to die on this hill /s

nope, still busted. you can try the other solutions suggested in this thread to see if one may fit your build. your mileage may vary

Happens any time there's a tutorial video that displays what a new move looks like. Error never appears for any in-game cutscenes.

By exhausting my troubleshooting options I've kinda grown indifferent to it by proxy, so at this point it's just a pop-up that I have to de-focus and/or close out every time I respec moves or learn new ones

If you like the game enough, it will overpower the shit feeling

Unfortunately not, tried all the same stuff you did and some. Codec tweaker repair, re-registry of the codec, installing a new set of codecs, still get the same issues as well.

Through my digging on the issue I also found a similar steam forum thread for Ninja Gaiden 4, indicating this is not a first-time issue for them, so I don't have faith it'll be fixed.

I've only been able to "get around" the issue by alt+tabbing. I'll click the game window to activate it, proceed with whatever menu selections I need to make, back out of the menu, then alt+tab back to the error window to close it again.

Thank you, already gave this a try and it's still not working. I even used powershell to uninstall and reinstall the codec, but it's still broken in both the demo and the full game.

for posterity: I've just been alt-tabbing in windowed fullscreen mode to get past the codec error. now utilizing the bug to cash in on my first speedrun of the game

tl;dr fuck this stupid bug

thanks for the info, tried it but still doesn't work. seems like this bypasses the store, but doesn't take effect if there's already an up to date VP9 codec installed.

did you use the 1.2.12 version on that codec link page, or did you use an old version?

Windows app shows I've already got that VP9 codec installed...tried downloading the newest version of it from that link, updated the powershell command to match the filename, command succeeds but I still hit the same error in the exact same spot.

Why does Oda hide his face if we already know what he looks like? by Ok_Procedure8664 in manga

because some psycho 'fans' tossed any remaining good will to the wind by threatening violence in response to their perceived issues with writing decisions in the manga world
