How to open TGV file?
The most common problem when using Electronic Arts Video is that a specific TGV is not associated with the program. This causes the file TGV 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 TGV 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 Need for Speed
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Need for Speed is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Need for Speed in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TGV with Need for Speed. Below you will find a list of applications that support TGV files.
Programs to open TGV file
Remember to download programs supporting TGV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Need for Speed with TGV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TGV file still does not use the Need for Speed 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Need for Speed application as the default for handling the TGV file.
Step 3. Update Need for Speed to the latest version
If, however, after binding Need for Speed with Electronic Arts Video there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Electronic Arts, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TGV 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 TGV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TGV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TGV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TGV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TGV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TGV files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TGV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TGV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TGV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TGV file again. However, some background programs may block the TGV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
