How to open PSSG file?

This is manifested by the fact that PSSG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSSG 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 PSSG Utility

In this case, you should first verify that the PSSG Utility application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PSSG Utility into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PSSG files.

Step 2. Create association of PSSG Utility with PSSG files

If, despite the installed application, the PSSG file does not start in the PSSG Utility application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSSG file with the PSSG Utility application.

Step 3. Update PSSG Utility to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PSSG Utility program with the EGO Engine Textures 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 PSSG file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PSSG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PSSG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PSSG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSSG files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSSG file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSSG 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 PSSG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PSSG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PSSG to close. However, some background programs may block the PSSG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
