The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TR3 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TR3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TR3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TR3 file. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TR3 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TR3 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TR3 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TR3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
