What is SVE file?
The SVE file has been categorized as Game Files. The author of this format is Simutrans. In addition to this file, the Game Files category includes 1509 related files. Simutrans Saved Game appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Simutrans application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Simutrans Community. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.
How to open SVE file?
The main problem with Simutrans Saved Game is that the SVE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SVE 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 SVE 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 Simutrans
The first step is to check if the computer has the Simutrans program installed. This can be achieved by typing Simutrans into the operating system search engine. 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 SVE files.
Programs to open SVE file
Remember to download programs supporting SVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Simutrans with SVE files
If, despite the installed application, the SVE file does not start in the Simutrans application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Simutrans application as the default for handling the SVE file.
Step 3. Update Simutrans to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Simutrans program, it is possible that Simutrans Saved Game requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Simutrans Community website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SVE 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SVE 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SVE file. However, remember that not every infected SVE 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 SVE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Simutrans help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SVE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SVE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SVE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
