How to open FML file?

The main problem with WWE RAW Character Format is that the FML file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FML 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 HexEdit

In this case, you should first verify that the HexEdit application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HexEdit into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FML files.

Programs to open FML file

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

Step 2. Create association of HexEdit with FML files

If, despite the installed application, the FML file does not start in the HexEdit application, you must create a file 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. 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 FML file with the HexEdit application.

Step 3. Update HexEdit to the latest version

If, however, after binding HexEdit with WWE RAW Character Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FML 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 FML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FML 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 FML file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FML file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FML to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FML file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
