How to open WWU file?
The main problem with Wwise Work Unit is that the WWU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WWU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWU 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 Wwise
In this case, you should first verify that the Wwise application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Wwise in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support WWU files.
Programs to open WWU file
Remember to download programs supporting WWU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wwise with WWU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WWU file still does not use the Wwise program, it means no association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WWU file with the Wwise application.
Step 3. Update Wwise to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Wwise program with the Wwise Work Unit file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Audiokinetic Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WWU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The WWU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WWU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WWU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WWU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WWU files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WWU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Audiokinetic
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WWU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the WWU 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WWU file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
