How to open VFS0 file?
The main problem with Metro 2033 Sound Format is that the VFS0 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VFS0 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VFS0 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 metro2033-tools
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that metro2033-tools is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name metro2033-tools in it.

Programs to open VFS0 file
Remember to download programs supporting VFS0 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of metro2033-tools with VFS0 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VFS0 file to open in the metro2033-tools application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VFS0 file with the metro2033-tools program.
Step 3. Update metro2033-tools to the latest version
If, however, after binding metro2033-tools with Metro 2033 Sound Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFS0 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VFS0 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VFS0 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VFS0 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VFS0 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VFS0 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VFS0 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the VFS0 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VFS0 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
