Programs to open TFR file
Remember to download programs supporting TFR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Star Wars: TIE Fighter with TFR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TFR file still does not use the Star Wars: TIE Fighter program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TFR file with the Star Wars: TIE Fighter program.
Step 3. Update Star Wars: TIE Fighter to the latest version
If, however, after binding Star Wars: TIE Fighter with TIE Fighter Pilot Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TFR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TFR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TFR file. Sometimes virus-infected TFR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TFR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TFR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use LucasArts help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TFR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TFR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TFR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TFR file again. However, some background programs may block the TFR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
