What is TOR file?
The file with the extension TOR is the Game Files file type. It was designed by LucasArts. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Star Wars: The Old Republic Asset Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Star Wars: The Old Republic. This was created by BioWare.
How to open TOR file?
The most common problem when using Star Wars: The Old Republic Asset Format is that a specific TOR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TOR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOR 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 Star Wars: The Old Republic
In this case, you should first verify that the Star Wars: The Old Republic application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Star Wars: The Old Republic 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file TOR.
Programs to open TOR file
Remember to download programs supporting TOR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Star Wars: The Old Republic with TOR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TOR file still does not use the Star Wars: The Old Republic 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Star Wars: The Old Republic application as the default for handling the TOR file.
Step 3. Update Star Wars: The Old Republic to the latest version
If, however, after binding Star Wars: The Old Republic with Star Wars: The Old Republic Asset Format 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 BioWare page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 TOR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 TOR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TOR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TOR file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TOR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LucasArts
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TOR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TOR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 TOR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TOR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
