How to open BOH file?

An often recurring problem with Europa Universallis 2 Game Data is that BOH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BOH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BOH 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 Europa Universalis 2

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Europa Universalis 2 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Europa Universalis 2 in it. 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 BOH files.

Programs to open BOH file

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

Step 2. Create association of Europa Universalis 2 with BOH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BOH file still does not use the Europa Universalis 2 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Europa Universalis 2 application as the default for handling the BOH file.

Step 3. Update Europa Universalis 2 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Europa Universalis 2 program with the Europa Universallis 2 Game Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Paradox Interactive page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BOH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 BOH 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BOH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BOH 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 BOH 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BOH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Paradox Interactive
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BOH 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BOH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BOH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BOH file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
