How to open M4S file?
The main problem with Myst IV: Revelation Save Game is that the M4S file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open M4S, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M4S 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 Myst IV: Revelation
The first step is to check if the computer has the Myst IV: Revelation program installed. To do this, enter the name Myst IV: Revelation into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open M4S files.
Programs to open M4S file
Remember to download programs supporting M4S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Myst IV: Revelation with M4S files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the M4S file still does not use the Myst IV: Revelation program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the M4S file with the Myst IV: Revelation application.
Step 3. Update Myst IV: Revelation to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Myst IV: Revelation program, it is possible that Myst IV: Revelation Save Game requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M4S 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:
The M4S file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the M4S file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the M4S file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover M4S files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the M4S file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M4S file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ubisoft Entertainment S.A.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file M4S 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the M4S file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
