How to open GVM file?
An often recurring problem with Phantasy Star Online is that GVM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GVM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GVM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Phantasy Star Online
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Phantasy Star Online is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Phantasy Star Online in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file GVM.
Programs to open GVM file
Remember to download programs supporting GVM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Phantasy Star Online with GVM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GVM file still does not use the Phantasy Star Online program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Phantasy Star Online application as the default for handling the GVM file.
Step 3. Update Phantasy Star Online to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Phantasy Star Online program with the Phantasy Star Online file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sega Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GVM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GVM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GVM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GVM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GVM file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GVM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sega Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GVM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GVM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GVM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
