Step 2. Create association of LOVE with LOVE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LOVE file to open in the LOVE 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 LOVE file with the LOVE program.
Step 3. Update LOVE to the latest version
If, however, after binding LOVE with LÖVE Game Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOVE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LOVE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LOVE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LOVE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LOVE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LOVE files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LOVE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 LOVE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LOVE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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.
