How to open EQG file?
The main problem with EverQuest Game Data Format is that the EQG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EQG 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 EQG 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 EverQuest

Programs to open EQG file
Remember to download programs supporting EQG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EverQuest with EQG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EQG file still does not use the EverQuest program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 EverQuest application as the default for handling the EQG file.
Step 3. Update EverQuest to the latest version
If, however, after binding EverQuest with EverQuest Game Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sony Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EQG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EQG file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EQG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EQG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EQG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EQG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EQG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 EQG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EQG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EQG to close. However, some background programs may block the EQG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
