UNKNOWN FILE???

[jackferris_123]

Hiya so when starting up AOD im immediately hit with a black screen with the text "Unknown file, please insert the correct disk for: DATA\FMV\EIDOS.mpg". Ive downloaded the restoration project mods and tried launching the game with them installed and im still hit with the same message. ive uninstalled the game and reinstalled without mods and still no change. ALSO everything has been ticked in the settings before launch but still dosent fix the issue. HELP, im now completely unable to play the game even with a fresh clean install

Hi
That's because FMV is disabled. To fix that, enter Configuration Utility (from Launcher > Settings), go to {YOUR GRAPHIC CARD} tab, and enable FMV and VMR9 under Options.

Check this out too:

Those are the proper settings on Configuration Utility (from Launcher > Settings):

GENERAL TAB

• Frame Rate Compensation: Disabled
  
• Processor: All enabled

{GRAPHIC CARD} TAB (first one)
Enabled
Click on "PS 2.0"

• Monitor Aspect: 1.33 (for 4:3 monitors) or 1.78 (for 16:9 or 16:10 monitors)
  
• Monitor Size: 21
  
• Screen Format: 32 bits X8R8G8B8
  
• Screen Res: Select your resolution with 60fps
  
• Multi Sampling: 8 Samples
  
• Render Type: Shader Hardware
  
• Options: All enabled (VMR9 is the most important)
  
• Textures: Highest possible (if you have a middle graphic card or better)
  
• Render Targets: All enabled (except nVidia Shadows, it breaks shadows actually)

{GRAPHIC CARD} TAB (others)
Disabled

MOUSE TAB
Disabled (there is a rare issue with mouse and cinematics)

KEYBOARD TAB
Enabled

{OTHER TABS} (each, if any)
Disabled


If the game runs too fast, use a fps limiter to cap the game to 60fps. If you have a nVidia card, you can use nVidia Profile Inspector[nvidiaprofileinspector.com]


Besides, I recommend to use this patched version of TRAOD_P4, community made (by sasho648), with a lot of fixes and some improvements: TRAOD_P4 v6.6.4[onedrive.live.com]
Extract TRAOD_P4.exe and replace (backup the original just in case) on bin folder.

ive tried all of the above, im still hit with the same message. Even AFTER a fresh clean install. so obviously the files somehow corrupted. ive only had this issue since i downloaded the definitive edition demo.

As I said, I can reproduce the same error as you disabling FMV. You have no corrupted file, you just have FMV disabled in settings:

Enable FMV and VMR9 and it will work.

Try to install "LAVFilters-0.79.2". I´ve tried to do everything and this was the solution for me.
