Step 1. Install RPG Maker

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support LMU files.
Programs to open LMU file
Remember to download programs supporting LMU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RPG Maker with LMU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LMU file to open in the RPG Maker 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. 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. 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 LMU file with the RPG Maker application.
Step 3. Update RPG Maker to the latest version
If, however, after binding RPG Maker with RPG Maker Map Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Enterbrain, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMU 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LMU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LMU or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LMU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LMU files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LMU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Enterbrain
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LMU 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the LMU file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LMU file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
