How to open PGB file?

The main problem with Rayman 2 is that the PGB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PGB 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 PGB 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 Rayman 2: The Great Escape

The first step is to check if the computer has the Rayman 2: The Great Escape program installed. This can be achieved by typing Rayman 2: The Great Escape 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 PGB with Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PGB files.

Programs to open PGB file

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

Step 2. Create association of Rayman 2: The Great Escape with PGB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PGB file still does not use the Rayman 2: The Great Escape program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Rayman 2: The Great Escape application as the default for handling the PGB file.

Step 3. Update Rayman 2: The Great Escape to the latest version

If, however, after binding Rayman 2: The Great Escape with Rayman 2 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 Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. page and install.

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

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

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PGB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PGB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PGB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PGB 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PGB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PGB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PGB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PGB file again. However, some background programs may block the PGB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
