How to open UTM file?

An often recurring problem with BioWare Aurora Game Engine Store is that UTM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open UTM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UTM 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 Neverwinter Nights

The first step is to check if the computer has the Neverwinter Nights program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Neverwinter Nights in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file UTM.

Programs to open UTM file

Remember to download programs supporting UTM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Neverwinter Nights with UTM files

If, despite the installed application, the UTM file does not start in the Neverwinter Nights 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UTM file with the Neverwinter Nights program.

Step 3. Update Neverwinter Nights to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Neverwinter Nights program with the BioWare Aurora Game Engine Store file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the BioWare website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UTM 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to UTM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UTM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UTM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UTM files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UTM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BioWare, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UTM 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. It is best to move UTM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UTM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
