Troubleshooting Problems Opening ELM Files

Common ELM Opening Problems

Eternal Lands Disappeared

Double-clicking your ELM file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open ELM File". Usually, this is because you do not have Eternal Lands for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your ELM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you don't have Eternal Lands installed, and you know of another program to open your ELM file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Eternal Lands is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your Eternal Lands Map File file version may not be supported by your version of Eternal Lands. Installing the latest version of Eternal Lands from Open Source is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Eternal Lands Map File file was created by a newer version of Eternal Lands than you have on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your ELM file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening ELM files are due to having the wrong version of Eternal Lands installed.
