How to open UVX file?

An often recurring problem with Unreal Tournament 2003 Saved Game is that UVX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file UVX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UVX 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 Unreal Tournament 2003

In this case, you should first verify that the Unreal Tournament 2003 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Unreal Tournament 2003 in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UVX files.

Programs to open UVX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Unreal Tournament 2003 with UVX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UVX file to open in the Unreal Tournament 2003 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Unreal Tournament 2003 application as the default for handling the UVX file.

Step 3. Update Unreal Tournament 2003 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Unreal Tournament 2003 program, it is possible that Unreal Tournament 2003 Saved Game requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Epic Games, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UVX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UVX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UVX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UVX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of UVX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UVX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Epic Games help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UVX 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. It is best to move UVX to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UVX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
