How to open OGF file?
An often recurring problem with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Model Format is that OGF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that OGF 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 OGF 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 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OGF with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OGF files.
Programs to open OGF file
Remember to download programs supporting OGF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with OGF files
If, despite the installed application, the OGF file does not start in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 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 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 OGF file with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. program.
Step 3. Update S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to the latest version
If, despite the association of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. program with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Model Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OGF 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 OGF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OGF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OGF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OGF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OGF file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OGF 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. If possible, you can try to move the OGF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the OGF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
