Thanks for that! I wasn't sure what the problem with not being able to see the text in the title screen was. I didn't know if that would have affected being able to see the dialog in the game as well.

Played the game for a few hours with seemingly no problems.
Just ran into my first animated scene.
But instead of the animation, there was just a blackscreen.
Any idea, what the problem could be?

winetricks is a script. Save it and run the commands that are in the list.

Okay, first thing I'd check is to make sure you have the updated mapping file (mapping.xml). Sometimes that will cause a black screen either throughout the game or in the animations if you're using an outdated mapping file.. If you're using a cheat mod, delete it as it's not needed and will cause problems with the game (cheats are already on the phone; man in the black hat).
Lastly, you may need to update your video card drivers. Check your system manufacturer's website, motherboard manufacturer's website, or if you're using your own video card, check the card manufacturer's website. See if there's a driver update available. Once installed, restart your computer and try playing up to one of the animated scenes. You can also click the picture gallery (in the phone), go to "Videos" and try playing any one of the videos you have.
Some have suggested using one of the codecs in the OP on the first page in the main thread. That's actually incorrect. As long as you have DirectX installed, you can play the game (and see the animated scenes) without any codecs. From the sound of it, it looks to me like you have DX installed. Otherwise you'd be getting a resolution error message and wouldn't be able to play the game at all. So you're in great shape there at least.

Sadly none of these seem to be the problem. I have the recent mapping file (from OP/lewdpacher) and don't use and mods.
I just updated my video cards driver (Radeon R7 M265DX btw, if that helps)
Still only a black screen during the video scenes
Any more Ideas?
Otherwise, I'll have to use the CG Rip for the missing scenes...

The only other idea that comes to mind is to check Windows Update for any additional software (possibly an update to DirectX). Make sure you have “Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows” checked.Sadly none of these seem to be the problem. I have the recent mapping file (from OP/lewdpacher) and don't use and mods.

Optionally, you could go
You must be registered to see the links
and download the offline update for DX.For security reasons, I downloaded the file and scanned it myself with ESET Endpoint Antivirus. I also scanned the URL with Virus Total. Both came back clean.
Lastly, you could try this method for Windows 10:
Disable Full Screen Optimization:
1 Right click on “Man of the house.exe” and select properties.
2 Click on compatibility.
3 Disable full screen optimization.
4 Click apply and “OK”.
Save it as a .txt? I can download the zip file which has a bunch of stuff in it too but none of them allow me to run anything

Did you follow the steps exactly? That message sounds like you ran winetricks in a regular terminal window, not the wine staging window.
