If, despite the installed application, the BGZ file does not start in the Blood Frontier application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

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 BGZ file with the Blood Frontier program.
Step 3. Update Blood Frontier to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Blood Frontier program, it is possible that Blood Frontier Map Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BGZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BGZ file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BGZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BGZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BGZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BGZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BGZ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BGZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BGZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BGZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
