How to open WXD file?
The most common problem when using Homeworld Musc Resource Game is that a specific WXD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WXD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WXD 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 Homeworld
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Homeworld is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Homeworld in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WXD with Homeworld. Below you will find a list of applications that support WXD files.
Programs to open WXD file
Remember to download programs supporting WXD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Homeworld with WXD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WXD file still does not use the Homeworld program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WXD file with the Homeworld application.
Step 3. Update Homeworld to the latest version
If, however, after binding Homeworld with Homeworld Musc Resource Game 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 Relic Entertainment Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WXD 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 WXD file. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WXD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WXD 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 WXD 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 option of recovering data from damaged WXD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Relic Entertainment Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WXD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the WXD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WXD 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
