How to open TBG file?
The most common problem when using Infinity Engine Game is that a specific TBG is not associated with the program. This causes the file TBG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TBG 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 Planescape: Torment
In this case, you should first verify that the Planescape: Torment application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Planescape: Torment into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TBG with Planescape: Torment. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TBG files.
Programs to open TBG file
Remember to download programs supporting TBG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Planescape: Torment with TBG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TBG file to open in the Planescape: Torment application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TBG file with the Planescape: Torment application.
Step 3. Update Planescape: Torment to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Planescape: Torment program, it is possible that Infinity Engine Game requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Interplay Entertainment Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TBG 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 TBG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TBG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TBG file. However, remember that not every infected TBG 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 TBG 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TBG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BioWare, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TBG 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TBG file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TBG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
