What is ASSETS file?
The ASSETS file has been categorized as Game Files. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Game Assets Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open ASSETS file?
An often recurring problem with Game Assets Data Format is that ASSETS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ASSETS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASSETS 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 Unity Assets Explorer
In this case, you should first verify that the Unity Assets Explorer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Unity Assets Explorer into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ASSETS files.
Programs to open ASSETS file
Remember to download programs supporting ASSETS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unity Assets Explorer with ASSETS files
If, despite the installed application, the ASSETS file does not start in the Unity Assets Explorer application, you must create a file association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ASSETS file with the Unity Assets Explorer program.
Step 3. Update Unity Assets Explorer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Unity Assets Explorer with Game Assets Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASSETS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASSETS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ASSETS file. However, remember that not every infected ASSETS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ASSETS files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ASSETS files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASSETS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ASSETS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 ASSETS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ASSETS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
