Cutscenes not working.

[Luskanus]

Hi, I'm currently running Windows 10, and while the game works fine; I downloaded and enabled cutscenes, but they won't play. Please help! The cutscenes are part of what makes this game so freaking epic!!

You ran the cutscene installer and enabled cutscenes in the settings? What happens?

I have the same problem, they just don't work, black screen and nothing, I have win7.

Did you try to mess around with the settings a bit? Try DxWnd with/withou GDI Mode. You can also try Cutscene change resolution. Window mode is worth a try too

Same issue here. Cutscenes downloaded, installed and enabled. Tried messing around with the settings, nothing seems to help. Cutscenes get skipped/don't start. I'm on windows 10 btw.

Any ideas?

Hello I've just created an account to share this:

 

I had the same problems as you, but after setting the language to Eng it worked:

 

 

I hope it will help others...

Thanks.

[ETC.]

That worked for me too, thanks so much!

[Affugter]

Glad I could help..  :D 

The cutscenes are what make this game special :)

[FunkyFr3sh]

thanks for sharing this solution Affugter! I actually coded it in a way to play the english videos if the videos of the chosen language are not found, I will take a look into it and fix the bug ASAP

Found the problem, the movies were supposed to be inside data\movies\ in the original game, but in the gruntmods downloads the movies are inside movies\, that makes it glitch

 

Will forward it to gruntlord so he can fix it on the next update

Okey I found out the solution: Basiclly the installer download and setup the cutscenes. If you have a look into the library the installer really downloaded the cutscenes but the file sizes are zeros. So need to mount the original disc images or put the disc in optical drive and copy the content pf movie folder to the Dune2000 Gruntsmod/movies folder and rewrite the fake files.

1. Install the gruntsmod edition

2. let the installer download and setup the cutscenes/cinematic files (it will download fake files with zero sizes)

3. mount the original disc image file (with daemon tools for example)

4. copy content of the "ISObin:\movies" folder to XY:\Gruntmods Studios\Dune 2000\movies (rewrite all)

5. play with cutscenes at now!

If you installed your Gruntmods edition and cutscenes doesn't play (doesn't ever appear).
Then, guys, here is the solution. You might want to give it a try.
First, you can get cutscenes by visiting https://gruntmods.com/cutscenes-and-extra-content/
After exe is complete, go to C:\Users\...\Gruntmods Studios\Dune 2000\movies
Copy files from C:\...\Dune 2000\movies to C:\...\Dune 2000\data\Movies
Within the config settings (launcher) set language to eng, and try checkboxes.
My config works well for me:
>Resolutin 640x400
>Renderer: DirectDraw
>Movies enabled yes
>Sounds enabled yes
>Force No-CD yes
>Language: eng
>Single Processor Affinity yes
>Disable Max Windowed Mode yes

Hey peeps for a long time i had the same cut scenes issue but setting the language toEnglish and cutscene change resolution to on fixed it for me.

glad to see the love for such a great game in its day. Respect to the Gtuntmods team for all the work they have put in.

I hit the same problem, and in my case the file sizes in the movies directory were also zero.

I tried to download a standalone cutscene installer and it seems like the "Direct Download" option is disabled (requires login, but AFAIK you can't sign in to gruntmods). I tried reinstalling the game, and noticed that the installer enters "download cutscenes" stage and quickly exits - most likely it also fails to contact the server and just gives up on the cutscene installation.

So, I instead installed cutscenes through the "Torrent Download" option - and voila, everything works!

My apologies, some bot protection on the server triggered that. I've fixed the issue and the direct download should function correctly.
