I'm struggling to get the WC4 DVD game to work on Windows XP. I've just paid £40 for this game on Ebay and I've read through countless topics to try and resolve the problem. This is what happens.
- Complete installation of the game
- Run the game
- FDDshow box pops up saying WC4DVD has tried to run FDDshow. I choose not to run it.
- Streams in this movie are an unsupported Format
- Can't load video
- Can't find, E:\Vob\sc_001a.vob
- A purple screen opens with two dialogue options
So far I have installed
- dxmci15 (placed in the WC4 directory)
- binkw32 (placed in the WC4 directory)
- WC4DVDFix (run and patched)
- Compatibility set to Win95
- Installed ogg Direct Show 0.9.9.5 (I thought this would sort the direct show filter issue)
- mpeg2dec.dll (placed in the WC4 directory)
- Installed AC3 filter
I've read on some threads people have copied files over from the DVD. Which files are these and were do they need to go?
I've also read I might need some kind of special video/sound card from Creative to get this run. Is this still true? Is there a software work round?
My Specs:
Windows XP SP3
C2D E6400
2Gb DDR2 800Mhz
Nvidia 8800 gt
I'm pretty sure I've missed something or I'm not doing something right, so any tips you can give to help run the most expensive game in the world would be appreciated.
BTW I have a the double sided single disc version of the game.
