How to open TGD file?
An often recurring problem with TerraGen World is that TGD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TGD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TGD 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. This can be achieved by typing TerraGen 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TGD files.
Programs to open TGD file
Remember to download programs supporting TGD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with TGD files
If, despite the installed application, the TGD file does not start in the TerraGen application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TGD file with the TerraGen program.
Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TerraGen program, it is possible that TerraGen World requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Planetside Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TGD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The TGD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TGD 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TGD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TGD 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 TGD 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TGD 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TGD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TGD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TGD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TGD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
