How to open EES file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EES 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 Empire Earth

Programs to open EES file

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

Step 2. Create association of Empire Earth with EES files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EES file to open in the Empire Earth application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EES file with the Empire Earth application.

Step 3. Update Empire Earth to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Empire Earth program with the Empire Earth Scenario file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Sierra Entertainment, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The EES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EES file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EES file. Sometimes virus-infected EES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EES 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.
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 EES files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sierra Entertainment, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EES except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EES file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
