I am trying to make an FMV game but it seems like i encountered a few problems.

1. My game shows "ERROR: Unable to determine your game data. Engine was not able to find any compatible game data. Searched
   in: Debug Folder.". I'm not sure what i did for ags to show this but i tried several things including restarting the
   a new project and even reinstalling ags, but the issue still persist. *i forgot to add but when it runs initially it shows the error message and then the game runs fine, however its annoying to have an error message playing whenever i want to test my game, so it basically alternates between showing the error message and   running the game whenever i try to start it.

2. Another thing is how when i change ShowPlayerCharacter = False, i noticed that the mouse cursor disappears but I'm able to
   click on the UI. Again, I'm not sure why this happened but it persisted even when i start a new project and reinstalled
   ags. Another thing to note is I remember clearly it wasn't like this on my previous FMV demos and testings.

I appreciate if anyone can help me because I am very clueless  :cry: .

Not sure what's causing the first issue but the cursor one is an easy fix: check the sprites you have set for your mouse cursors and you should probably do
  Mouse.Mode = eModeInteract;
in game_start and remove the on_mouse_click parts that switch cursors.

Thanks! It worked I replaced each mouse cursors with sprites. Pretty sure my fat fingers deleted them accidentally.
