How to open DB0 file?
The main problem with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Game is that the DB0 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DB0 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DB0 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 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open DB0 file
Remember to download programs supporting DB0 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor with DB0 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DB0 file to open in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor application as the default for handling the DB0 file.
Step 3. Update S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor program with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Game 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 DB0 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DB0 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DB0 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DB0 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 DB0 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DB0 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DB0 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DB0 file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DB0 to close. However, some background programs may block the DB0 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
