Troubleshoot AGE3SCN Files

Troubles Opening AGE3SCN Files

Microsoft Age of Empires Removed

When you double-click your AGE3SCN file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Age of Empires isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your AGE3SCN file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens AGE3SCN files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Outdated Microsoft Age of Empires

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Age of Empires won't support your Age Of Empires 3 Scenario File file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Age of Empires installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Age Of Empires 3 Scenario File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Age of Empires than what's installed.

Tip: Investigate your AGE3SCN file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening AGE3SCN files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
