How to open FXCB file?
The main problem with Crysis Shader Cache is that the FXCB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FXCB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FXCB 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 Crysis
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Crysis is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Crysis into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FXCB with Crysis. Below is a list of programs that support the file FXCB.
Programs to open FXCB file
Remember to download programs supporting FXCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Crysis with FXCB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FXCB file to open in the Crysis 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FXCB file with the Crysis program.
Step 3. Update Crysis to the latest version
If, however, after binding Crysis with Crysis Shader Cache there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CRYTEK page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FXCB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FXCB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FXCB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FXCB file. However, remember that not every infected FXCB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FXCB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FXCB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CRYTEK, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FXCB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FXCB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FXCB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FXCB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
