Same here. On a different note, trying to look this up on the Store App gives you a paid version if it says "from the manufacturer". Get the same App without the "from the manufacturer" and you'll get the free Windows 1809 or later version.

This isn't a fix HVEC is a paid codec and is not available by default to all computers/manufacturers, using HVEC isn't a good choice if you want better compression use VP8 or VP9 to get better performances at lower bitrates.

Never thought I would ever see the name Megas XLR again. Even more surprised to see it appear here. I don't want to thank CCP virus for this though...
I want to like your game. But I get a black screen and I flat out refuse to download HEVC JUST for this project
It isn't paid codec anymore. But you're right, it is not available by default to all computers/manufacturers.
As you know we need to have the latest version of DirectX and .NET Framework to run the new games. HEVC is required to run this game. Personally, I've used it for years to export high-quality videos. And I used it in this game for animations as well. Why should I use old technology while I can use newer one? I recommend to use it everyone. The year is 2020 after all

DirectX and .net framework are widely used programs and are honestly like the AOL free 500 hour CD's of the 90's. You bought a game on steam? It has 30 copies of directX and .NET from different months. You installed firefox? Have a free .NET framework install as well. You booted windows for the first time? Dont worry friendo, we got you covered with old versions of both. Upgrading GPU drivers? We'll throw those in as well for free.It isn't paid codec anymore. But you're right, it is not available by default to all computers/manufacturers.

As for HEVC, its an unnecessary download from a storefront and download agent I dont want installed on my PC and isnt widely used at all in any way. And what makes matters worse is you didnt even say we needed said niche codec. You just assumed we all had this codec that frankly not a lot of people would have heard of and left it up to us, the people you are asking for patreon money from (and yes, I noticed the URL shortcut for your patreon that wasnt even inside the game folder, but rather before we even got to the contents of the game).
Im sure you made an ok game, and yes, I fucking love Megas so it would be 100% up my alley. But I refuse to put a bloatware storefronts installer/downloader on my PC just to grab a codec that I will never use again. Just because its the year 2020 doesnt mean I should, or will, install a storefronts downloader JUST to grab something ill never use again after the 40(ish) seconds of gameplay you offer?
I hope this explained everything
This is the first time i ever even heard of HEVC, lol. I'm sorry but Bunny put it exactly how I feel. I play many games of the variety of genres, and I had to dl the necessary files it came with. But never have I come across some random codec I have to dl and this probably the only game I will ever have to play it with...
Let me explain HEVC briefly. It is released in 2013, High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard. Not a "some random codec". Your computer has AVC (H.264) currently as default, which is the previous version. Although it has been 7 years since its release, I guess it will become more common in future. Also in a way, I agree with you. When DirectX 12 came out, the developers didn't make it mandatory for you, and they also put the DirectX 11 option. I may release AVC version of this. I went into some technical detail, sorry about that.
Adobe is now planning to remove flash player support for it fully by the end of 2020. So I'm working on the WebGL version. It will be published on

Well, the link above is for windows 10, and the ones I can find on my own are windows 8 or above. I have h264, I use it for all of my videos (and even tried updating it today), but I still get the black screen issue...
DX12 is also bad, because a lot of people can't use that either, since it is Windows10 only as well.
