How to open OP2 file?
The main problem with Outpost 2 Saved Game is that the OP2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file OP2 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 OP2 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 Outpost 2
In this case, you should first verify that the Outpost 2 application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Outpost 2 into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OP2.
Programs to open OP2 file
Remember to download programs supporting OP2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Outpost 2 with OP2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OP2 file to open in the Outpost 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OP2 file with the Outpost 2 program.
Step 3. Update Outpost 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Outpost 2 program, it is possible that Outpost 2 Saved Game requires a newer version of the program.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 Dynamix, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OP2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to OP2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OP2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected OP2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OP2 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OP2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Dynamix, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OP2 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 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 OP2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the OP2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
