How to open HFB file?
The main problem with Hell Fighter Battle is that the HFB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HFB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HFB 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 Hell Fighter
The first step is to check if the computer has the Hell Fighter program installed. This can be achieved by typing Hell Fighter into the operating system search engine. 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 HFB files.
Programs to open HFB file
Remember to download programs supporting HFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Hell Fighter with HFB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HFB file still does not use the Hell Fighter program, it means no 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. 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 Hell Fighter application as the default for handling the HFB file.
Step 3. Update Hell Fighter to the latest version
If, however, after binding Hell Fighter with Hell Fighter Battle there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the David Peterson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HFB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HFB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 HFB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HFB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HFB files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HFB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting David Peterson, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HFB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HFB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HFB 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 HFB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
