How to open DBPRO file?

The most common problem when using DarkBASIC Professional Project Format is that a specific DBPRO is not associated with the program. This causes the file DBPRO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBPRO 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 DarkBASIC

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DarkBASIC is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DarkBASIC in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DBPRO with DarkBASIC. Below you will find a list of applications that support DBPRO files.

Programs to open DBPRO file

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

Step 2. Create association of DarkBASIC with DBPRO files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBPRO file to open in the DarkBASIC 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DBPRO file with the DarkBASIC program.

Step 3. Update DarkBASIC to the latest version

If, despite the association of the DarkBASIC program with the DarkBASIC Professional Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Game Creators Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBPRO 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 DBPRO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DBPRO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DBPRO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DBPRO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DBPRO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DBPRO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Game Creators help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBPRO 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. 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 DBPRO file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DBPRO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DBPRO to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
