What is a .FDA file?
The .FDA file extension is associated with audio files specifically used in the video game WarHammer 40,000: Dawn of War, which is often abbreviated as DoW. This game is a real-time strategy game, meaning it requires players to make decisions and take actions in real-time, as opposed to turn-based games where players take turns making moves.
An .FDA file can contain different types of audio related to the game, such as sound effects like explosions or gunfire, or the background music that plays while you are playing the game. These sounds and music help make the game more immersive and exciting.
These .FDA audio files are not standalone files; instead, they are stored within .SGA files. An .SGA file is a type of archive file used by Dawn of War to package various game files together, including these audio files, so the game can easily access them when needed.
If you want to open an .FDA file, you would typically do so within the context of playing Dawn of War, as the game itself knows how to access and use these files for its audio playback. The game is developed by Relic Entertainment, and their Dawn of War game software is specifically designed to work with .FDA files among others. Outside of using the game to access these files, there isn't much utility in trying to open them with standard audio players, as they are formatted for use by the game.
