How to open MATPROJ file?

The main problem with Dragon Age Origins Material is that the MATPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MATPROJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MATPROJ 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 Dragon Age Toolset

In this case, you should first verify that the Dragon Age Toolset application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dragon Age Toolset into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file MATPROJ.

Programs to open MATPROJ file

Remember to download programs supporting MATPROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Dragon Age Toolset with MATPROJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MATPROJ file still does not use the Dragon Age Toolset program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MATPROJ file with the Dragon Age Toolset program.

Step 3. Update Dragon Age Toolset to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Dragon Age Toolset program with the Dragon Age Origins Material 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 MATPROJ 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MATPROJ 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. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MATPROJ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MATPROJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MATPROJ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MATPROJ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact BioWare
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MATPROJ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MATPROJ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MATPROJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MATPROJ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
