How to open OGEX file?

The main problem with Open Game Engine Exchange Data Format is that the OGEX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OGEX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OGEX 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 3ds Max (3D Studio Max)

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) 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 OGEX with 3ds Max (3D Studio Max). Below you will find a list of applications that support OGEX files.

Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) with OGEX files

If, despite the installed application, the OGEX file does not start in the 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) application as the default for handling the OGEX file.

Step 3. Update 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) to the latest version

If, however, after binding 3ds Max (3D Studio Max) with Open Game Engine Exchange Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Autodesk, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OGEX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The OGEX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OGEX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OGEX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OGEX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OGEX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair OGEX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OGEX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 OGEX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 OGEX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OGEX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
