Description:
When launching Visions of Mana with DLCs applied, the game starts normally but displays a black screen before the intro video. The issue occurs consistently in both version 1.02 and 1.03 when DLCs are active. Without DLCs, the game functions correctly in those same versions.

Additionally, version 1.00 fails to work regardless of DLC application.

Tested Title:

CUSA43005 — Visions of Mana PS4 on PS5 platform

Versions Tested:

v1.00 (Base Game): Does not function even without DLC.
v1.02 & v1.03 (Patched):
- Without DLCs: Game functions normally.
- With DLCs applied: Game launches but freezes on a black screen before the intro video.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install Visions of Mana version 1.00
Install Visions of Mana Update version 1.02 or 1.03 DLCs Merged using the patching system.
Launch the game.

Expected Behavior:
Game should proceed to the intro video and transition to the main menu.

Actual Behavior:

Game boots correctly.
A black screen appears before the intro video.
No crash or error message is shown, but the game does not progress further.
