How to open UTX file?

An often recurring problem with Unreal Texture Package is that UTX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file UTX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UTX 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 UnrealEd

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that UnrealEd is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name UnrealEd into the 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 UTX.

Step 2. Create association of UnrealEd with UTX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UTX file still does not use the UnrealEd program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 UnrealEd application as the default for handling the UTX file.

Step 3. Update UnrealEd to the latest version

If, however, after binding UnrealEd with Unreal Texture Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Epic Games, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UTX 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UTX file. 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. 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 UTX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UTX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UTX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UTX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Epic Games
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UTX 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 UTX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UTX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UTX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
