How to open BFM file?
The main problem with Terminal Reality Model Format is that the BFM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BFM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BFM 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 BR2PodTools
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BR2PodTools is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BR2PodTools in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BFM.
Programs to open BFM file
Remember to download programs supporting BFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BR2PodTools with BFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BFM file still does not use the BR2PodTools program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the BR2PodTools application as the default for handling the BFM file.
Step 3. Update BR2PodTools to the latest version
If, however, after binding BR2PodTools with Terminal Reality Model Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BFM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 BFM file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BFM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BFM 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 BFM 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BFM file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BFM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BFM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BFM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BFM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
