How to open NPZ file?

An often recurring problem with GameGuard Update is that NPZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NPZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPZ 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 GameGuard

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GameGuard is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GameGuard in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NPZ.

Programs to open NPZ file

Remember to download programs supporting NPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of GameGuard with NPZ files

If, despite the installed application, the NPZ file does not start in the GameGuard application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NPZ file with the GameGuard application.

Step 3. Update GameGuard to the latest version

If, however, after binding GameGuard with GameGuard Update there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the INCA Internet Co, Ltd. page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The NPZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NPZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NPZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NPZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NPZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NPZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting INCA Internet Co, Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NPZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NPZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NPZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NPZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
