Step 2. Create association of BfMeshView with SKINNEDMESH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SKINNEDMESH file to open in the BfMeshView 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SKINNEDMESH file with the BfMeshView application.

Step 3. Update BfMeshView to the latest version

If, despite the association of the BfMeshView program with the Battlefield Skinned Mesh 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 Martjin Buijs page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SKINNEDMESH file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SKINNEDMESH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKINNEDMESH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SKINNEDMESH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair SKINNEDMESH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Electronic Arts, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SKINNEDMESH 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SKINNEDMESH to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SKINNEDMESH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SKINNEDMESH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
