How to open RGM file?

The most common problem when using Essence Game Engine Model is that a specific RGM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RGM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RGM 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 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RGM with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RGM files.

Programs to open RGM file

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

Step 2. Create association of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War with RGM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RGM file to open in the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War application, but you can set it manually. 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 RGM file with the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War application.

Step 3. Update Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War program with the Essence Game Engine Model file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Relic Entertainment Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The RGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RGM 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RGM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RGM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RGM file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged RGM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Relic Entertainment Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RGM 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RGM file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 RGM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
