Step 1. Install Games Studio

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FPG with Games Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file FPG.

Programs to open FPG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Games Studio with FPG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FPG file still does not use the Games Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 FPG file with the Games Studio program.

Step 3. Update Games Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Games Studio program with the DIV Games Studio Multi Map Image 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 DIV website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPG file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The FPG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FPG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FPG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FPG 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 FPG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FPG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Game Creators help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FPG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FPG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
