How to open BIMAGE file?
An often recurring problem with Id Tech Texture Data Format is that BIMAGE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BIMAGE 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 BIMAGE 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 Rage
In this case, you should first verify that the Rage application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Rage 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 BIMAGE.
Programs to open BIMAGE file
Remember to download programs supporting BIMAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rage with BIMAGE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIMAGE file still does not use the Rage program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Rage application as the default for handling the BIMAGE file.
Step 3. Update Rage to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Rage program, it is possible that Id Tech Texture Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the id Software LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIMAGE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BIMAGE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BIMAGE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BIMAGE 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 BIMAGE files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BIMAGE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BIMAGE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BIMAGE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BIMAGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BIMAGE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BIMAGE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
