How to open LUV file?
The most common problem when using Medieval 2 Total War is that a specific LUV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LUV 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 LUV 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 Lithium Unwrap
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lithium Unwrap is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Lithium Unwrap in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file LUV.
Programs to open LUV file
Remember to download programs supporting LUV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lithium Unwrap with LUV files
If, despite the installed application, the LUV file does not start in the Lithium Unwrap application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 LUV file with the Lithium Unwrap application.
Step 3. Update Lithium Unwrap to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Lithium Unwrap program, it is possible that Medieval 2 Total War requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Brad Bolthouse website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LUV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LUV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LUV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LUV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LUV 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 LUV 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LUV files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sega Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LUV 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 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 LUV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LUV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LUV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
