Nah It's not on Black Screen, it still has its art but the Animation just won't work. I could set it to Slow Normal Fast but the MC is just stuck.
Then it could be one of several possibilities.
  1. Outdated video card/GPU drivers. Verify that you have the latest drivers installed.
  2. Missing Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes. the runtimes archive from a mirror site close to you then extract the files to a temporary folder (which you can delete later). Then run the included "install_all.bat" file and see if the animation still freezes. No system restart required.
  3. Download and install the basic . Use the default installation method. There's no configuration or system restart required.
  4. Check the game's path. If the game is buried under several sub-folders, that can also cause issues with the animation. Make sure the game's full path is: "C:\Man of the House v1.0.2c (Extra)" or whatever drive letter the game is on.
  5. In some cases, if you have an Nvidia GPU/video card, go into the Nvidia Control Panel and disable G-Sync.

Like in C:\users\yourusername\downloads\stuff\private\games\fsk18\moth
The amount of folders counts for that!
Is it the amount, too? I thought it was only string length.

So c:\g\18\xxx\dl\f95\moth would be better than c:\supersecretfolderwhichyoudonothavetocheckbecauseitcertainlyisntmanofthehousethatwouldbegross

But yeah, one way or the other, windows despises digging too deep with your folder structure and can lead to troubles.

You are right. A full qualified path can only have 256 characters. The number of subdirectories is not important. It really makes no significant difference. You just loose potential file name characters for all the backslashes.
The file path could actually be longer, but most programs that interpret the text representation to fetch file objects - including the windows file explorer - can't handle it.

Also, IIRC, if you stray from ASCII characters, like using the diacritics your non English language has, they will be stored not as a single character, so will take away more letters.
