How to open BF file?
The most common problem when using CryoBF Game Data Format is that a specific BF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BF 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 BF 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 Beyond Good & Evil
The first step is to check if the computer has the Beyond Good & Evil program installed. This can be achieved by typing Beyond Good & Evil into the operating system search engine. 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 BF files.
Programs to open BF file
Remember to download programs supporting BF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Beyond Good & Evil with BF files
If, despite the installed application, the BF file does not start in the Beyond Good & Evil 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 BF file with the Beyond Good & Evil program.
Step 3. Update Beyond Good & Evil to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Beyond Good & Evil program with the CryoBF Game Data Format 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 Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Cryo Interactive Entertainment
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BF 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. Copying the BF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
