Programs to open SPAWN file
Remember to download programs supporting SPAWN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with SPAWN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPAWN file still does not use the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPAWN 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 SPAWN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SPAWN 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 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 SPAWN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SPAWN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SPAWN 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SPAWN file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPAWN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPAWN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 SPAWN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPAWN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
