How to open HOGG file?
An often recurring problem with Cryptic Studios Data is that HOGG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HOGG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HOGG 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 Star Trek Online
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Star Trek Online is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Star Trek Online into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HOGG files.
Programs to open HOGG file
Remember to download programs supporting HOGG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Star Trek Online with HOGG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HOGG file to open in the Star Trek Online application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HOGG file with the Star Trek Online application.
Step 3. Update Star Trek Online to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Star Trek Online program with the Cryptic Studios Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cryptic Studios, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HOGG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The HOGG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HOGG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HOGG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HOGG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HOGG 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HOGG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Cryptic Studios, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HOGG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HOGG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HOGG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HOGG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
