How to open FPM file?
An often recurring problem with FPS Creator Map Format is that FPM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FPM, 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 FPM 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 FPS Creator
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FPS Creator is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FPS Creator in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FPM files.
Programs to open FPM file
Remember to download programs supporting FPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FPS Creator with FPM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FPM file to open in the FPS Creator application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FPM file with the FPS Creator program.
Step 3. Update FPS Creator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FPS Creator program, it is possible that FPS Creator Map Format requires a newer version of the program.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 The GameCreators page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPM 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. This suggests truncating the FPM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FPM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FPM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FPM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FPM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Game Creators
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FPM 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.
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 FPM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FPM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
