How to open WNT file?

An often recurring problem with Soldier Of Fortune II Waypoint is that WNT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WNT 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 WNT 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 Soldier of Fortune II

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Soldier of Fortune II is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Soldier of Fortune II into the operating system search engine. 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 WNT files.

Programs to open WNT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Soldier of Fortune II with WNT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WNT file to open in the Soldier of Fortune II 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. 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. 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 Soldier of Fortune II application as the default for handling the WNT file.

Step 3. Update Soldier of Fortune II to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Soldier of Fortune II program with the Soldier Of Fortune II Waypoint file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Raven Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WNT 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. This suggests truncating the WNT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WNT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WNT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WNT file. 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 ability to automatically repair WNT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Raven Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WNT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WNT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WNT file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
