Programs to open BMD file
Remember to download programs supporting BMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MU Online with BMD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BMD file still does not use the MU Online program, it means no 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MU Online application as the default for handling the BMD file.
Step 3. Update MU Online to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MU Online program, it is possible that MU Online Game Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Webzen page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BMD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BMD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BMD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BMD 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BMD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use WEBZEN help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BMD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BMD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BMD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
