How to open WD file?

An often recurring problem with Earth 2140-2160 Game Archive is that WD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WD 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 Earth 2150

In this case, you should first verify that the Earth 2150 application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Earth 2150 into the system search engine. 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 WD.

Programs to open WD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Earth 2150 with WD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WD file to open in the Earth 2150 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Earth 2150 application as the default for handling the WD file.

Step 3. Update Earth 2150 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Earth 2150 with Earth 2140-2160 Game Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the TopWare website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to WD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WD 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
