How to open WAG file?
The main problem with Train Simulator Wagon is that the WAG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WAG, 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 WAG 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 Train Simulator
The first step is to check if the computer has the Train Simulator program installed. To do this, enter the name Train Simulator into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WAG with Train Simulator. Below you will find a list of applications that support WAG files.
Programs to open WAG file
Remember to download programs supporting WAG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Train Simulator with WAG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WAG file still does not use the Train Simulator 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 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Train Simulator application as the default for handling the WAG file.
Step 3. Update Train Simulator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Train Simulator program with the Train Simulator Wagon file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WAG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WAG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WAG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WAG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WAG 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WAG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WAG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WAG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WAG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WAG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
