How to open MASSEFFECTSAVE file?
The main problem with Mass Effect Saved Game is that the MASSEFFECTSAVE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MASSEFFECTSAVE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MASSEFFECTSAVE 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 Mass Effect
In this case, you should first verify that the Mass Effect application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mass Effect 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 MASSEFFECTSAVE.
Programs to open MASSEFFECTSAVE file
Remember to download programs supporting MASSEFFECTSAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mass Effect with MASSEFFECTSAVE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MASSEFFECTSAVE file to open in the Mass Effect 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 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mass Effect application as the default for handling the MASSEFFECTSAVE file.
Step 3. Update Mass Effect to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mass Effect program with the Mass Effect Saved Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BioWare website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MASSEFFECTSAVE 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 MASSEFFECTSAVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MASSEFFECTSAVE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MASSEFFECTSAVE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MASSEFFECTSAVE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MASSEFFECTSAVE 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MASSEFFECTSAVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MASSEFFECTSAVE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the MASSEFFECTSAVE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MASSEFFECTSAVE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
