How to open MUX file?
The most common problem when using Trackmania Music Format is that a specific MUX is not associated with the program. This causes the file MUX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MUX 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 TrackMania
In this case, you should first verify that the TrackMania application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TrackMania in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MUX files.
Programs to open MUX file
Remember to download programs supporting MUX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TrackMania with MUX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MUX file to open in the TrackMania 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. 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 MUX file with the TrackMania application.
Step 3. Update TrackMania to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TrackMania program with the Trackmania Music Format 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 Nadeo website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUX 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 MUX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MUX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MUX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MUX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MUX 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 MUX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ubisoft Entertainment
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MUX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MUX 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MUX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MUX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
