How to open BNT file?

The main problem with Entropia Universe Game Archive is that the BNT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BNT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BNT 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 Dragon UnPACKer

The first step is to check if the computer has the Dragon UnPACKer program installed. To do this, enter the name Dragon UnPACKer 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 BNT files.

Programs to open BNT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with BNT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BNT file still does not use the Dragon UnPACKer 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BNT file with the Dragon UnPACKer application.

Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Dragon UnPACKer program, it is possible that Entropia Universe Game Archive requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Alexandre Devilliers website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BNT 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BNT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BNT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BNT 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 BNT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BNT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MindArk PE AB.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BNT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BNT 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BNT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
