What is ESG file?
The ESG file has been categorized as Game Files. It was designed by Pangea. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Enigmo Saved Game Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The Enigmo application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Pangea Software, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open ESG file?
The main problem with Enigmo Saved Game Format is that the ESG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ESG 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 ESG 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 Enigmo
In this case, you should first verify that the Enigmo application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Enigmo into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ESG with Enigmo. Below is a list of programs that support the file ESG.
Programs to open ESG file
Remember to download programs supporting ESG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Enigmo with ESG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ESG file to open in the Enigmo application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 Enigmo application as the default for handling the ESG file.
Step 3. Update Enigmo to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Enigmo program with the Enigmo Saved Game 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 Pangea Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ESG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ESG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ESG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ESG file. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ESG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pangea, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ESG 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ESG file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ESG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
