How to open IB2 file?
An often recurring problem with IncrediBots 2 Saved Challenge Format is that IB2 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IB2 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 IB2 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 IncrediBots
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IncrediBots is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IncrediBots into the operating 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 IB2 files.
Programs to open IB2 file
Remember to download programs supporting IB2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IncrediBots with IB2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IB2 file to open in the IncrediBots 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 select the desired program. 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 IB2 file with the IncrediBots program.
Step 3. Update IncrediBots to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IncrediBots program, it is possible that IncrediBots 2 Saved Challenge Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IncrediBots developers website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IB2 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IB2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IB2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected IB2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IB2 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IB2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IncrediBots, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IB2 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. Copying the IB2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IB2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IB2 file again. However, some background programs may block the IB2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
