How to open BIFF file?

The main problem with BioWare Infinity Engine Archive Of Resources Format is that the BIFF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BIFF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BIFF 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

In this case, you should first verify that the application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BIFF files.

Programs to open BIFF file

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

Step 2. Create association of with BIFF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIFF file still does not use the 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the application as the default for handling the BIFF file.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, despite the association of the program with the BioWare Infinity Engine Archive Of Resources Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIFF 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BIFF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BIFF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BIFF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BIFF files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BIFF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BIFF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BIFF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BIFF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BIFF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
