How to open GMR file?
The main problem with Game Maker Compiled Game is that the GMR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GMR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMR 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 GameMaker
In this case, you should first verify that the GameMaker application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GameMaker in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GMR files.
Programs to open GMR file
Remember to download programs supporting GMR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameMaker with GMR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GMR file to open in the GameMaker application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GameMaker application as the default for handling the GMR file.
Step 3. Update GameMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GameMaker program, it is possible that Game Maker Compiled Game requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GMR 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 GMR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GMR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GMR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GMR files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GMR files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GMR 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the GMR file to another location will fix the problem.
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 GMR file again. However, some background programs may block the GMR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
