How to open TIGER file?

The most common problem when using Tomb Raider Game Data Archive is that a specific TIGER is not associated with the program. This causes the file TIGER 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 TIGER 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.

Programs to open TIGER file

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

Step 2. Create association of Tomb Raider with TIGER files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TIGER file still does not use the Tomb Raider program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 TIGER file with the Tomb Raider application.

Step 3. Update Tomb Raider to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Tomb Raider program with the Tomb Raider Game Data Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TIGER file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TIGER file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TIGER file. Sometimes virus-infected TIGER 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 TIGER files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TIGER files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TIGER 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. It is best to move TIGER to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TIGER 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 TIGER file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
