How to open GPM file?
An often recurring problem with Ragnarok Online Update is that GPM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GPM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GPM 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 Ragnarok
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ragnarok is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ragnarok 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 GPM files.
Programs to open GPM file
Remember to download programs supporting GPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ragnarok with GPM files
If, despite the installed application, the GPM file does not start in the Ragnarok 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 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. 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 GPM file with the Ragnarok program.
Step 3. Update Ragnarok to the latest version
If, however, after binding Ragnarok with Ragnarok Online Update there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gravity Interactive Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GPM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GPM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GPM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GPM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GPM 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GPM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Gravity Interactive Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GPM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GPM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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.
