How to open TGO file?

An often recurring problem with Terragen 2 Object is that TGO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TGO 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 TGO 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

In this case, you should first verify that the TerraGen application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TerraGen in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support TGO files.

Programs to open TGO file

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

Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with TGO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TGO 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TGO file with the TerraGen application.

Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version

If, however, after binding TerraGen with Terragen 2 Object 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 TGO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 TGO file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TGO file. Sometimes virus-infected TGO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TGO 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TGO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Planetside Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TGO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 TGO file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TGO file again. However, some background programs may block the TGO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
