How to open BGW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BGW 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 Final Fantasy VIII

Programs to open BGW file

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

Step 2. Create association of Final Fantasy VIII with BGW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BGW file to open in the Final Fantasy VIII application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BGW file with the Final Fantasy VIII application.

Step 3. Update Final Fantasy VIII to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Final Fantasy VIII program with the Final Fantasy Music file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SQUARE ENIX CO. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BGW file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The BGW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BGW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BGW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BGW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BGW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 BGW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SQUARE ENIX CO.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BGW 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.
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 BGW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BGW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BGW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
