Programs to open FSSAVE file
Remember to download programs supporting FSSAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Games Explorer with FSSAVE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FSSAVE file still does not use the Microsoft Games Explorer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Games Explorer application as the default for handling the FSSAVE file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Games Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Games Explorer program, it is possible that Flight Simulator Save Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSSAVE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FSSAVE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FSSAVE file. However, remember that not every infected FSSAVE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FSSAVE 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FSSAVE file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FSSAVE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FSSAVE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FSSAVE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FSSAVE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
