Step 2. Create association of Ur-Quan Masters with UQM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UQM file still does not use the Ur-Quan Masters program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UQM file with the Ur-Quan Masters program.
Step 3. Update Ur-Quan Masters to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ur-Quan Masters program, it is possible that The Ur-Quan Masters Game Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UQM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The UQM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the UQM file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UQM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UQM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UQM file. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UQM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Ur-Quan Masters help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UQM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the UQM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the UQM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UQM file again. However, some background programs may block the UQM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
