Steam Overture: Missing Images?

[Allectus]

Seems all as it should, when using an artefact it should flash in white/yellow and some text commenting the event is displayed.

That's what happens when I activate it again: just a brief flash and some text. The first activation appears fundamentally different however as it presents a full screen wash, as opposed to just a flash, that does not dissipate until I click through. The whole screen turns white (excepting the caption text, something about vaguely recognizing my father) and stays that way until I press a button. The walkthrough indicated that I was supposed to be looking at an image of my father clutching something at that time.

Again, my apologies if this is not the case; it just seemed odd and the only reason I even went looking for a walkthrough is because it seemed like something was missing and the walthrough seems to have confirmed that that is the case. So, the question is, is anything special or different supposed to happen on your very first artifact activation? If not then I'll just drop the issue and write it off as an odd anomaly. =)

My thanks in advance.
