How to open ASVF file?

The main problem with Asphyre Sphinx Archive Format is that the ASVF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ASVF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASVF 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 Asphyre Sphinx

In this case, you should first verify that the Asphyre Sphinx application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Asphyre Sphinx in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ASVF with Asphyre Sphinx. Below you will find a list of applications that support ASVF files.

Programs to open ASVF file

Remember to download programs supporting ASVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Asphyre Sphinx with ASVF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ASVF file still does not use the Asphyre Sphinx 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ASVF file with the Asphyre Sphinx program.

Step 3. Update Asphyre Sphinx to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Asphyre Sphinx program with the Asphyre Sphinx Archive Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Afterwarp Development website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASVF 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASVF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ASVF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASVF 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 ASVF file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ASVF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Afterwarp Development, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASVF 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. Copying the ASVF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ASVF to close. However, some background programs may block the ASVF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
