How to open GE2 file?
The main problem with Maya 4 GE2 Exporter is that the GE2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GE2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GE2 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 Autodesk Maya
The first step is to check if the computer has the Autodesk Maya program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Autodesk Maya in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support GE2 files.
Programs to open GE2 file
Remember to download programs supporting GE2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Autodesk Maya with GE2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GE2 file still does not use the Autodesk Maya program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GE2 file with the Autodesk Maya application.
Step 3. Update Autodesk Maya to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Autodesk Maya program with the Maya 4 GE2 Exporter 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 Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GE2 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. This suggests truncating the GE2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GE2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GE2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GE2 file. 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 GE2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autodesk, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GE2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GE2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GE2 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 GE2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GE2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
