Black Dragon Media Plugin Oddity

[Corvus Drake]

I have been using Black Dragon, the most recent version (3.83) both AVX and non in trying to figure out what is going on. 

Since this update, each time I go to log in, I am notified that the media plugin is experiencing a problem and the opening video doesn't play.  When i log in, performance is extremely choppy.  I've had issues where the plugin would drop streams before and I've had to restart the media on the sim.   Has anyone else had this issue?  I've only been able to solve it by reinstalling Black Dragon every time I log in.  It's on an SSD, it doesn't take long, but man, it's annoying.

This sounds a lot like something (*caugh* windows defender *caugh*) might be deleting/removing the SLPlugin.exe in the viewer's folder.

You might want to make sure nothing is blocking or removing it and that it still exists both after installation and after using/closing the viewer.
