How to open MAZ file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MAZ 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 Hover!
The first step is to check if the computer has the Hover! program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Hover! in it. 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 MAZ files.
Programs to open MAZ file
Remember to download programs supporting MAZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Hover! with MAZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MAZ file to open in the Hover! application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Hover! application as the default for handling the MAZ file.
Step 3. Update Hover! to the latest version
If, however, after binding Hover! with Hover! Maze Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MAZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MAZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MAZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MAZ 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 MAZ files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MAZ 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MAZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
