One line summary of your issue
CTD on cut scenes and post-after mission

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
CTD on every Priority Mission after mission report. After report concludes (salvage selection done), the busy wheel appears and then CTD. Also occurred when entering mission to have conference with Lady. Continuing Campaign picks up whatever saved point (start of mission, financial report, manual) happened to take place before encountering the cut scene.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Have deleted saves, uninstalled GOG Galaxy, and uninstalled and reinstalled BT. No solution except to keep trying to finish mission and re-encounter cut scene (I am using "cut scene" for the meeting with various NPCs that occurs after the conclusion of a Priority Mission or at the start of conference at Weldry. error log says Access Violation

The crash is in lvcod64.dll which is a Logictech video codec. You might check with them for updates.

Also, run BattleTechLauncher.exe and click on the Video Player tab. Whichever one is selected, try the other one.

Re: lvcod64.dll - Not available as a separate file for download. Logitech includes it in its QuickCam software which I don't have but did dl and installed.
I used BTLauncher to change to alt MediaFoundation and used Manual Save: Defense: Smithton (all ships saved, 9/10 OPFOR dead). With QuickCam installed on the hope it updated BT's copy of lvcod64.dll, I was 5/5 successful finishing mission and getting through cutscene. Then switched back to DirectShow and again went 5/5 success. Now, brimming with confidence, I pulled up Manual Save: Escape and ran in DirectShow. Succss with first run, CTD when at end of Mission Report.

Just because I am a completionist (or anal as hell), I did 5 runs under MediaFoundation on Manual Save: Escape and all 5 accessed the cut scene without a problem. I did three more runs under DirectShow and had three (counting the one mentioned above) CTDs. One CTD produced no error report. (As a side note, it appeared to me that the video portions (jump ship, etc.) all looked a little better under MediaFoundation than DirectShow.) All run under GOGGalaxy. As noted, in the past (DirectShow), every Mission Report access to cut scene failed with CTD; replays of Priority Mission usually required 2-3 tries before successful access to cut scene. So the CTD rate here for DirectShow is fairly representative of what I've been experiencing. I will stay with Media-F, of course.
