Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FACEFX 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:

The FACEFX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FACEFX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FACEFX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FACEFX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FACEFX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FACEFX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact OC3 Entertainment
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FACEFX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FACEFX 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FACEFX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
