How to open SHADER_BUNDLE file?
The most common problem when using Avalanche Studios Game Graphics Format is that a specific SHADER_BUNDLE is not associated with the program.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SHADER_BUNDLE 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 Just Cause 2

Programs to open SHADER_BUNDLE file
Remember to download programs supporting SHADER_BUNDLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Just Cause 2 with SHADER_BUNDLE files
If, despite the installed application, the SHADER_BUNDLE file does not start in the Just Cause 2 application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Just Cause 2 application as the default for handling the SHADER_BUNDLE file.
Step 3. Update Just Cause 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Just Cause 2 program, it is possible that Avalanche Studios Game Graphics Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Avalanche Studios website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHADER_BUNDLE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SHADER_BUNDLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SHADER_BUNDLE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SHADER_BUNDLE file. However, remember that not every infected SHADER_BUNDLE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SHADER_BUNDLE 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged SHADER_BUNDLE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SHADER_BUNDLE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SHADER_BUNDLE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SHADER_BUNDLE 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
