It's quite probably the beginning movie. My computer won't play it or the one at the end, either. You can just open up the mission zip file, look for the "movies" folder and remove the files inside. Move them someplace else and you will probably be able to play them outside of the game so you can still see them. Once I had done this, the mission played just fine on my computer.

Interesting! I DO have the K-lite codecs installed, I believe but I can't find the "Codec Tweak Tool" he mentioned. I'll contact him to see if he can help me out as I'd love to be able to run all the movies properly again. Most of them work but the odd one won't.

Unfortunately I don't know more about this trick, because I don't use this codec pack or else. :( These packs causes sound problems in other games, like FEAR or No One Lives Forever. But Komag can help you.

Apparently he has a different version than mine so he can't help but I'll do some research and see if I can figure it out.

"This Holy Hammer has been donated to Lord Alan Augustus De Marcantonius
as a symbol of gratitude from the Hammerite community."
Is the Holy Hammer good for anything, or is it just atmosphere? Just curious. I just finished my first crawl through the mission. Great fun. No records worth mentioning, but I did manage to have no alerts. My next run will be a try for Perfect Thief.

Just decoration. Have fun. :)

Bloody brilliant level design!!!
Superlatives do not go far enough.
The attention to detail is amazing.
The scale is breath-taking.
The logic is flawless.
I loved the puzzle-like construction of this enormous mission.
The twist in how the mission develops is immensely satisfying.
How the hell do you get out? Don't answer that. I'll go back and read the previous posts.
I just had to get my praises in immediately.
WOW!

Lord Alan's Factory is one of the most impressive missions I have ever played. I mean, one of the most impressive missions, not just missions for that game called Thief.
Sadly, I can't find the key to 2200. I found the note about the location of the key but none of the workers there had it. I searched for hours. I guess I earlier dumped to body somewhere where I cannot retrieve it. Looks like I'll have to restart.

No need to restart. The note is inaccurate in Expert / Timed skill, and I think perhaps Hard/Garrett skill. Look here:[SPOILER]Go to the lowest possible level of the electrical generator room, where you can walk under the flywheels. Find the key on a patrolling worker wearing a white suit.[/SPOILER]
