How to open SCWORLD file?

The main problem with Survivalcraft World Data Format is that the SCWORLD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SCWORLD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCWORLD 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 Survivalcraft

In this case, you should first verify that the Survivalcraft application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Survivalcraft in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SCWORLD files.

Programs to open SCWORLD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Survivalcraft with SCWORLD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SCWORLD file to open in the Survivalcraft 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SCWORLD file with the Survivalcraft application.

Step 3. Update Survivalcraft to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Survivalcraft program, it is possible that Survivalcraft World Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Kaalus website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCWORLD 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 SCWORLD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SCWORLD file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SCWORLD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SCWORLD 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 SCWORLD 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SCWORLD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SCWORLD 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 SCWORLD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SCWORLD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
