How to open FDP file?
An often recurring problem with FMOD Project Format is that FDP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FDP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FDP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FMOD Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the FMOD Designer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FMOD Designer into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FDP files.
Programs to open FDP file
Remember to download programs supporting FDP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FMOD Designer with FDP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FDP file to open in the FMOD Designer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FDP file with the FMOD Designer program.
Step 3. Update FMOD Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding FMOD Designer with FMOD Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FDP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FDP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FDP file. Sometimes virus-infected FDP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FDP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FDP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Firelight Technologies
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FDP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FDP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FDP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FDP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FDP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
