How to open SVT file?

An often recurring problem with Torchlight Saved Game Format is that SVT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SVT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SVT 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 TorchTools

The first step is to check if the computer has the TorchTools program installed. This can be achieved by typing TorchTools 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 is a list of programs that support the file SVT.

Programs to open SVT file

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

Step 2. Create association of TorchTools with SVT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SVT file to open in the TorchTools application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SVT file with the TorchTools application.

Step 3. Update TorchTools to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TorchTools program, it is possible that Torchlight Saved Game Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SVT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SVT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SVT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SVT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SVT files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SVT 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.
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. Copying the SVT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SVT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
