How to open FBI file?
The main problem with Total Annihilation Main Unit Definition is that the FBI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FBI 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 FBI 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 Total Annihilation

Programs to open FBI file
Remember to download programs supporting FBI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Total Annihilation with FBI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FBI file still does not use the Total Annihilation program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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 Total Annihilation application as the default for handling the FBI file.
Step 3. Update Total Annihilation to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Total Annihilation program, it is possible that Total Annihilation Main Unit Definition requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cavedog Entertainment page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 FBI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FBI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FBI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FBI 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FBI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cavedog Entertainment, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FBI 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.
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. It is best to move FBI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FBI to close. However, some background programs may block the FBI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
