How to open AHOD file?
The main problem with Homeworld is that the AHOD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AHOD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AHOD 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 Homeworld
In this case, you should first verify that the Homeworld application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Homeworld into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AHOD files.
Programs to open AHOD file
Remember to download programs supporting AHOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Homeworld with AHOD files
If, despite the installed application, the AHOD file does not start in the Homeworld application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AHOD file with the Homeworld application.
Step 3. Update Homeworld to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Homeworld program, it is possible that Homeworld requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Relic Entertainment Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AHOD 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AHOD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AHOD file. Sometimes virus-infected AHOD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AHOD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AHOD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Relic Entertainment Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AHOD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AHOD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AHOD 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 AHOD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AHOD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
