The AUTOSAVE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AUTOSAVE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AUTOSAVE file on each system platform.
What is AUTOSAVE file?
The file in the AUTOSAVE format belongs to the Developer Files category. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. GDevelop Autosave Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The GDevelop application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Florian Rival.
How to open AUTOSAVE file?
The main problem with GDevelop Autosave Format is that the AUTOSAVE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AUTOSAVE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AUTOSAVE 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 GDevelop
In this case, you should first verify that the GDevelop application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GDevelop in it. 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 AUTOSAVE files.
Programs to open AUTOSAVE file
Remember to download programs supporting AUTOSAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GDevelop with AUTOSAVE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AUTOSAVE file still does not use the GDevelop program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GDevelop application as the default for handling the AUTOSAVE file.
Step 3. Update GDevelop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GDevelop program with the GDevelop Autosave Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Florian Rival website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AUTOSAVE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AUTOSAVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AUTOSAVE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AUTOSAVE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AUTOSAVE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AUTOSAVE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AUTOSAVE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AUTOSAVE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AUTOSAVE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AUTOSAVE to close. However, some background programs may block the AUTOSAVE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
