Programs to open SOD file
Remember to download programs supporting SOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny with SOD files
If, despite the installed application, the SOD file does not start in the Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SOD file with the Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny application.
Step 3. Update Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny program with the Wolfenstein 3D Spear Of Destiny Game Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the id Software LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SOD 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SOD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SOD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SOD files changes over time. 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.
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 SOD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use id Software LLC help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SOD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SOD 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SOD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
