Videos not loading in Season 2

There's several clue-videos that do not play, but the debriefing video at the end of Mission 30's Agent Map session not playing seems to mean I have no way of getting the answer to the mission.

 

Is it only some of the videos, or all of them?

 

Only some, the initial mission-briefing videos all work, but some of the clue-videos or audios do not. And neither do the debriefing videos on Agent Map-missions.

 

I re-installed the game but some videos still refure to load/play. Opening briefing to Mother Russia being one of them.

 

Here's my log:

Yeah, I am having the same issue at Season 2 mission 30, cannot complete it because of this.
E: Also tried the DLC missions, they do not work either. The video screen only flashes white briefly before asking if I want to watch the video again. S2 mission 29 video loads still, though, and presumably the previous ones, too. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the game and tried different buffering options but nothing seems to work.

 

@NorthChaos did the last client update fix it?
@WWaze there have been some odd issues with videos - mostly firewall/connection issues, so its worth making sure they are not blocked, and in case its something else > @Anashel is the man to ask!

 

Let's see:

Alone in the Dark Web opening briefing: doesn't load, flashes white.
Mother Russia: doesn't load, flashes white.
Season 2, Mission 30 briefing: loads and plays normally.
Season 2, Mission 30 agent map pt1 Guardians: Audio doesn't load, flashes white.
Season 2, Mission 30 agent map pt2 Chemical Warfare: Audio doesn't load, flashes white.
Season 2, Mission 30 agent map pt3 Core: Audio doesn't load, flashes white, solution video doesn't load and flashes white.
All images load normally.

Steam should've kept the game updated, but I re-tried after reinstalling and doesn't load.

 

Haven't tried earlier missions, I just had the answers for mission 30 lying around so it was a good for testing. I seem to recall having same issues with audio-clues in earlier missions in season 2 tho.

 

Yep, I am having the same issues as NorthChaos and I also tried out s2 mission 29 and 28 and the intro videos were working as previously. Here's my log if it is of any use https://pastebin.com/3cBMNLAC

 

Hi, it seems I have the same problem. In s2 mission 30 I can watch only the briefing video, the others (video attachments in all tasks and video debriefing) don't work, the video player opens, but the video stops immediately, I get a gray rectangle instead of a video and the replay/close buttons. Everything worked well in the previous missions of s2. The log looks very similar to the one WWaze attached, I can attach mine if necessary.

 

Investigated a little, looks like I get 503 response for the video URLs because of Cloudflare DDOS protection.
I was able to download the videos using the links I obtained from traffic dump, so the problem is not because Cloudflare blocked me.
