How to open NIFCACHE file?
The main problem with Gamebryo Data Format is that the NIFCACHE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NIFCACHE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NIFCACHE 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 GameBryo LightSpeed
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GameBryo LightSpeed is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GameBryo LightSpeed in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NIFCACHE files.
Programs to open NIFCACHE file
Remember to download programs supporting NIFCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameBryo LightSpeed with NIFCACHE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NIFCACHE file still does not use the GameBryo LightSpeed program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NIFCACHE file with the GameBryo LightSpeed application.
Step 3. Update GameBryo LightSpeed to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GameBryo LightSpeed program, it is possible that Gamebryo Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Emergent Game Technologies page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NIFCACHE 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 NIFCACHE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NIFCACHE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NIFCACHE 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 NIFCACHE file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NIFCACHE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NIFCACHE 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.
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. It is best to move NIFCACHE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NIFCACHE 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. However, some background programs may block the NIFCACHE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
