How to open XMG file?
The most common problem when using The Longest Journey XMG is that a specific XMG is not associated with the program. This causes the file XMG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMG 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 The Longest Journey
In this case, you should first verify that the The Longest Journey application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Longest Journey in it.

Programs to open XMG file
Remember to download programs supporting XMG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Longest Journey with XMG files
If, despite the installed application, the XMG file does not start in the The Longest Journey 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 The Longest Journey application as the default for handling the XMG file.
Step 3. Update The Longest Journey to the latest version
If, despite the association of the The Longest Journey program with the The Longest Journey XMG file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Funcom page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XMG 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XMG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XMG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XMG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Funcom help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XMG 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. It is best to move XMG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMG 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
