How to open DWP file?

The most common problem when using DarkWave Studio Project Format is that a specific DWP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DWP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWP 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 DarkWave Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the DarkWave Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DarkWave Studio in it.

Programs to open DWP file

Remember to download programs supporting DWP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DarkWave Studio with DWP files

If, despite the installed application, the DWP file does not start in the DarkWave Studio 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 DWP file with the DarkWave Studio application.

Step 3. Update DarkWave Studio to the latest version

If, however, after binding DarkWave Studio with DarkWave Studio Project Format 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 ExperimentalScene page and install.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DWP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DWP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DWP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DWP 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DWP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ExperimentalScene help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DWP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DWP to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DWP to close. 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.
