How to open MWM file?

An often recurring problem with Space Engineers Model Format is that MWM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MWM, 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 MWM 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 Space Engineers

In this case, you should first verify that the Space Engineers application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Space Engineers 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 MWM.

Programs to open MWM file

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

Step 2. Create association of Space Engineers with MWM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MWM file still does not use the Space Engineers program, it means no association. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MWM file with the Space Engineers program.

Step 3. Update Space Engineers to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Space Engineers program, it is possible that Space Engineers Model Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the KEEN SWH LTD. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MWM 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 MWM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MWM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MWM file. Sometimes virus-infected MWM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MWM 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MWM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MWM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MWM to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MWM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MWM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
