How to open MN2 file?
The most common problem when using Descent 2 Mission is that a specific MN2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MN2, 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 MN2 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 Descent 2
The first step is to check if the computer has the Descent 2 program installed. To do this, enter the name Descent 2 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MN2 with Descent 2. Below you will find a list of applications that support MN2 files.
Programs to open MN2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MN2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Descent 2 with MN2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MN2 file to open in the Descent 2 application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Descent 2 application as the default for handling the MN2 file.
Step 3. Update Descent 2 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Descent 2 program with the Descent 2 Mission file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Interplay Entertainment Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MN2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MN2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MN2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MN2 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 MN2 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MN2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Interplay Entertainment Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MN2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MN2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MN2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MN2 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
