How to open G0S file?

Programs to open G0S file
Remember to download programs supporting G0S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain with G0S files
If, despite the installed application, the G0S file does not start in the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 G0S file with the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain program.
Step 3. Update Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain program, it is possible that Metal Gear Solid V Game Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Konami Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G0S file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to G0S files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our G0S file. Sometimes virus-infected G0S files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of G0S 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular G0S file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file G0S 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the G0S file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the G0S file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the G0S file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
