How to open DB9 file?
The most common problem when using S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Game is that a specific DB9 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DB9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DB9 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name S.T.A.L.K.E.R. database extractor in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DB9 files.
Programs to open DB9 file
Remember to download programs supporting DB9 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 DB9 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DB9 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. 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 DB9 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 DB9 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 DB9 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DB9 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DB9 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 DB9 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DB9 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DB9 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DB9 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DB9 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DB9 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
