How to open CAPX file?
The most common problem when using Construct Compressed Project Format is that a specific CAPX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CAPX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CAPX 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 Construct
In this case, you should first verify that the Construct application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Construct into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CAPX files.
Programs to open CAPX file
Remember to download programs supporting CAPX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Construct with CAPX files
If, despite the installed application, the CAPX file does not start in the Construct application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Construct application as the default for handling the CAPX file.
Step 3. Update Construct to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Construct program with the Construct Compressed Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Scirra.com website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CAPX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CAPX 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. 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 CAPX file. However, remember that not every infected CAPX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CAPX file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CAPX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Scirra help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CAPX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CAPX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CAPX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CAPX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
