This was created by id Software LLC.
How to open LMP file?
The most common problem when using Doom Recorded Demo is that a specific LMP is not associated with the program. This causes the file LMP 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 LMP 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 Doom
In this case, you should first verify that the Doom application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Doom into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LMP with Doom. Below you will find a list of applications that support LMP files.
Programs to open LMP file
Remember to download programs supporting LMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Doom with LMP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LMP file to open in the Doom 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LMP file with the Doom program.
Step 3. Update Doom to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Doom program with the Doom Recorded Demo file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the id Software LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LMP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LMP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LMP file. Sometimes virus-infected LMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LMP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LMP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting id Software LLC, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LMP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 LMP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LMP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LMP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
