How to open NWN file?
The most common problem when using Bioware Aurora Engine Module is that a specific NWN is not associated with the program. This causes the file NWN 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 NWN 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 Neverwinter Nights
The first step is to check if the computer has the Neverwinter Nights program installed. This can be achieved by typing Neverwinter Nights into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NWN with Neverwinter Nights. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NWN files.
Programs to open NWN file
Remember to download programs supporting NWN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Neverwinter Nights with NWN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NWN file still does not use the Neverwinter Nights 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NWN file with the Neverwinter Nights application.
Step 3. Update Neverwinter Nights to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Neverwinter Nights program with the Bioware Aurora Engine Module file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BioWare page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NWN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NWN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NWN file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NWN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NWN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NWN 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NWN files. 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 NWN 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NWN file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file NWN to close. However, some background programs may block the NWN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
