These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is TrackMania.

How to open GBX file?

An often recurring problem with Nadeo Game Format is that GBX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GBX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GBX 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 TrackMania

The first step is to check if the computer has the TrackMania program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TrackMania in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support GBX files.

Step 2. Create association of TrackMania with GBX files

If, despite the installed application, the GBX file does not start in the TrackMania application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TrackMania application as the default for handling the GBX file.

Step 3. Update TrackMania to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TrackMania program, it is possible that Nadeo Game Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Nadeo website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The GBX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GBX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GBX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GBX 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 GBX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GBX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nadeo, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GBX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GBX 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 GBX file again. However, some background programs may block the GBX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
