Construct Game Project Archive Format | Scirra | Developer Files |
The CAPX file extension is used by the Construct 2 software platform to store game projects and their assets. Construct 2 is a development platform designed to help software engineers and designers create games with minimal effort. CAPX files are generated by the Construct 2 environment after a project is created or modified. This file extension contains a compressed file of all the assets and metadata for a Construct 2 project.
A CAPX file consists of several sections which form part of the project structure. These include game objects, objects and conditions, scenes, layers, event sheets, layouts, sounds, groups and paths among others. CAPX files are only readable through a program that can open them, such as Construct 2.

.Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CAPX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CAPX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CAPX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CAPX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CAPX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CAPX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CAPX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CAPX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CAPX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CAPX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
