Black Screen during Cutscenes

**Game version: During 19/09/2022 on the Steam version.
**Type of issue: Bug
**Mods: No


Bug Description:

There seems to be an issue with the cutscenes when playing through the story, the screen was completely black and only the audio was playing with the subtitles. However, the audio does not play straight away until after alt-tabbing out of the game and going back into the window. I did not experience this issue when I started playing the game on release, until I got to the level Incaustis. I even checked the previous cutscenes in the extras tabs of the codex, it seems these cutscenes are now also getting this issue.

Good Evening,

I think I might have something extra to add to this issue which I think might be worth noting. I was thinking what I was doing before I went on Metal Hellsinger again to continue playing the story and see if that possibly affected it at all. I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel to change a setting for another game before I next played Metal Hellsinger again and got around to the next cutscene. I changed a setting for Vertical Sync from ‘Adaptive’ to ‘Fast’ in the 3D settings of the Control Panel. I changed the Vertical Sync back to Adaptive and the cutscenes seem to be working fine for me now, I can see the cutscene cleary, and I didn’t have to tab out for the cutscene to start either.
