How to open BLV file?

An often recurring problem with Might And Magic 6/7 Dungeon Level Geometry is that BLV is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BLV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BLV 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 Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BLV with Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven. Below is a list of programs that support the file BLV.

Step 2. Create association of Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven with BLV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BLV file to open in the Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 BLV file with the Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven application.

Step 3. Update Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven to the latest version

If, however, after binding Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven with Might And Magic 6/7 Dungeon Level Geometry there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BLV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BLV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BLV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BLV 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BLV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ubisoft Entertainment S.A.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BLV 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.
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. Copying the BLV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BLV to close. However, some background programs may block the BLV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
