Ork Space Hulk Mission

[Scarydino]

It seems to be occurring to other poeple too, but there's a campaign mission involving an orkish space hulk that is unplayable. I will get the initial dialogue, music, and closed captions. But the rest of the screen is black. Nothing happens. If you hit "ESC" the music will stop. Task Manager reports BGA as "Not Responding".
A common solution being suggested is to have Windows Media Player. I have had this installed on my computer since I originally got it. I'm also missing the in-game cutscenes, and it seems there is a connection between these 2 problems.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying the game for the most part.

Hi,

Sorry to hear your issue.
There is already a topic on this issue: http://steamcommunity.com/app/363680/discussions/1/

Thank you.

[Scarydino]

are you talking about the "TROUBLE WITH THE CAMPAIGN" thread? I already checked those solutions, but I already had the required software.

Edit: I see you already addressed the other thread. My computer is running Vista, but is able to play all missions except for "The Hunt"

Hi,

thank you for your reply.
You could see on the Minimum Requirements that Windows Seven or latest is needed.
Windows Vista doesn't support movies.
The Hunt begin with a video, this is why you can't play this mission, sorry.
A solution you can try is re-encode movies to an adapted format for your OS / WMV.

Thank you.

(For anyone else having problems)

I am currently converting the Windows Media Audio/Video Files related to the mission into .wmv files using an online service into the same folder under:
"Steamapps >> common >> Battlefleet Gothic Armada >> BattleFleetGothic >> Content >> Movies >> Chapter4 ".
I converted 2 files into .wmv which are related to the mission. The files are " The_Hunt_fin " and " The_Hunt_Intro ". I figure the rest of the videos are nonessential to gameplay and can be found elsewhere if desired.
These converted files are running successfully with Windows Media Player. The question now is whether I have to access the game's programming to get it to use these files instead of the original files.
I will provide an update on that within the hour. Hopefully we figure out the solution to this issue and have a procedure written out in plain English for anyone else having the issue.

Unfortunately changing the files has not resolved the issue yet. However, I would appreciate directions for how to change the game's programming to recognize the new files or perhaps a change in an upcoming patch that would let the game recognize converted files for mission scripting. It could even be as simple as renaming the files as their original names.
I've also uploaded a few screenshots of the situation onto my own profile under "Public". Humorously enough, the game claims the Orkish Kaptain "Doesn't Exist".

Hi,
if you want to do that you can just replace the old files by the new (converted).
If they have the same name the game should run it with out issue.
Or is that the files type is not compatible with the game / UE4.

[Scarydino]

I have renamed the converted files as their original counterparts. I will be trying this out. Hopefully this works for anyone else having issues too.

Edit: This was not successful with .wmv files. However, there are other types of files I can try. Unfortunately I won't be trying tonight because it takes ~15min for the game to start up every time and I don't have the patience. Unless...

I can try playing this one mission on a different computer. I do have a laptop with Windows 10 on it, but I don't like using it for gaming. Are game files synched across Steam?

Yes, if you check the case on steam you'll have your solo save synched.
