BlueByte Archive appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open BBA file?
An often recurring problem with BlueByte Archive is that BBA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BBA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BBA 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 The Settlers: Rise of an Empire
In this case, you should first verify that the The Settlers: Rise of an Empire application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Settlers: Rise of an Empire in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BBA files.
Programs to open BBA file
Remember to download programs supporting BBA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Settlers: Rise of an Empire with BBA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BBA file still does not use the The Settlers: Rise of an Empire 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 BBA file with the The Settlers: Rise of an Empire program.
Step 3. Update The Settlers: Rise of an Empire to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Settlers: Rise of an Empire program, it is possible that BlueByte Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BBA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BBA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BBA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BBA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BBA 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 BBA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 BBA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BBA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BBA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BBA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BBA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BBA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
