What is a .SWW file?
The .SWW file extension is associated with saved game files specifically for the Anno series of video games, including Anno 1404 and Anno 2070. These games are futuristic real-time strategy games developed by Ubisoft. The .SWW file contains all the information about a player's progress in the game. This includes levels that have been completed, achievements earned, and the overall state of the game at the time it was saved.
These files are not meant to be opened directly by the player using standard file management tools like Windows Explorer. Instead, they are accessed and loaded through the game itself. When you want to continue playing from where you left off, you go to the game's main menu and select the option to load a saved game. The game will then display a list of saved games, which are stored as .SWW files.
If you need to handle .SWW files outside of the game, for example, to back them up or transfer them to another computer, you can use a program called RDA Explorer. This tool allows you to view and manage the contents of Anno game files, including .SWW files. However, to actually play a saved game, you must load it through Anno 1404 or Anno 2070's game interface.
