Issue: You Can't Open CPX Files
You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a CPX file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!
Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses CPX Files
Opening your CPX file starts with understanding which software uses a CPX extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.
Rise of Nations Campaign File, Age of Empires I and II Campaign File, and Code Page Translation File are the most popular software packages that use CPX files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download one of these software packages and use one of them to open your file.
Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.
Step 2: Learning More About CPX "File Type"
If you can't download Rise of Nations Campaign File, Age of Empires I and II Campaign File, or Code Page Translation File software, or if they don't work to open your CPX file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".
Most likely, you will find that CPX files are considered Game Files. Because many programs packages utilize Game Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
