How to open WZ file?
The main problem with MapleStory Game Data Format is that the WZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WZ 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 WZ 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 MapleStory
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MapleStory is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MapleStory 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 WZ files.
Programs to open WZ file
Remember to download programs supporting WZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MapleStory with WZ files
If, despite the installed application, the WZ file does not start in the MapleStory application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MapleStory application as the default for handling the WZ file.
Step 3. Update MapleStory to the latest version
If, however, after binding MapleStory with MapleStory Game Data Format 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 Nexon Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 WZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WZ 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 WZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NEXON, 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 WZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WZ to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
