How to open BLS file?
An often recurring problem with Blockland Saved Game Format is that BLS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BLS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BLS 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 Blockland
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Blockland is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Blockland into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BLS files.
Programs to open BLS file
Remember to download programs supporting BLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Blockland with BLS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BLS file still does not use the Blockland 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BLS file with the Blockland program.
Step 3. Update Blockland to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Blockland program with the Blockland Saved Game Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Blockland LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BLS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BLS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BLS file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BLS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BLS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BLS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BLS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Blockland, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BLS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BLS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BLS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
