How to open PLAYER file?
The most common problem when using Metro 2033 Save Game is that a specific PLAYER is not associated with the program. This causes the file PLAYER 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 PLAYER 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 Metro 2033
In this case, you should first verify that the Metro 2033 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Metro 2033 into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open PLAYER file
Remember to download programs supporting PLAYER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Metro 2033 with PLAYER files
If, despite the installed application, the PLAYER file does not start in the Metro 2033 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PLAYER file with the Metro 2033 application.
Step 3. Update Metro 2033 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Metro 2033 program with the Metro 2033 Save Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the 4A Games website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLAYER 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:
The PLAYER file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PLAYER files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PLAYER file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PLAYER file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLAYER file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLAYER files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting 4A Games, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PLAYER 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PLAYER file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PLAYER file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
