How to open WAI file?

The main problem with Warcraft 3 AI Data is that the WAI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WAI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WAI 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 Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

The first step is to check if the computer has the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos program installed. To do this, enter the name Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WAI.

Programs to open WAI file

Remember to download programs supporting WAI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos with WAI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WAI file still does not use the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WAI file with the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos program.

Step 3. Update Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos to the latest version

If, however, after binding Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos with Warcraft 3 AI Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WAI file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WAI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WAI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WAI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WAI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WAI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WAI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WAI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WAI to close. However, some background programs may block the WAI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
