How to open SCN file?
The most common problem when using Age Of Mythology Scenario Format is that a specific SCN is not associated with the program. This causes the file SCN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCN 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 Age of Mythology
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Age of Mythology is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Age of Mythology into the operating 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 SCN.
Programs to open SCN file
Remember to download programs supporting SCN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Age of Mythology with SCN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SCN file still does not use the Age of Mythology 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SCN file with the Age of Mythology program.
Step 3. Update Age of Mythology to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Age of Mythology program with the Age Of Mythology Scenario Format 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 Microsoft Studios page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SCN file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SCN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SCN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SCN 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SCN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SCN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SCN file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
