What is TGC file?
The TGC file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Planetside Software. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

The TerraGen application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Planetside Software.
How to open TGC file?
The main problem with Terragen Node Clip is that the TGC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TGC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TGC 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 TerraGen
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TerraGen is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TerraGen in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TGC.
Programs to open TGC file
Remember to download programs supporting TGC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with TGC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TGC file still does not use the TerraGen program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TGC file with the TerraGen application.
Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version
If, however, after binding TerraGen with Terragen Node Clip there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Planetside Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TGC 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:
The TGC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TGC file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TGC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TGC 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 TGC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TGC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Planetside Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TGC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TGC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TGC 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 TGC file again. However, some background programs may block the TGC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
