Troubleshoot OTD Files
Frequent OTD Opening Issues
Missing OpenIV
When trying to open your OTD file, you get the error "Can't Open OTD File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have OpenIV installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your OTD because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have OpenIV installed, and you know of another program to open your OTD file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Outdated OpenIV
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a OpenIV Texture Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of OpenIV if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a OpenIV Texture Data file version that was created by a newer version of OpenIV than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of OTD file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening OTD files are due to having the wrong version of OpenIV installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading OTD Files
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of OpenIV will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening OTD files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:
- Windows Registry OTD file paths that are incorrect
- Corruption of the OTD file description inside the Registry
- Partial installation of OpenIV that did not fully complete
- File corruption affecting your OTD file
- The OTD is infected with a virus
- Hardware associated with OTD has outdated drivers
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your OpenIV Texture Data file
