How to open UMX file?
The main problem with Deus Ex Format is that the UMX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UMX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UMX 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 Deus Ex
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Deus Ex is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Deus Ex into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file UMX.
Programs to open UMX file
Remember to download programs supporting UMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Deus Ex with UMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UMX file to open in the Deus Ex application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 Deus Ex application as the default for handling the UMX file.
Step 3. Update Deus Ex to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Deus Ex program with the Deus Ex Format 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 Eidos Interactive Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UMX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UMX 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UMX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UMX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UMX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UMX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eidos Interactive Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UMX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move UMX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UMX file again. However, some background programs may block the UMX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
