How to open TTARCH file?

The most common problem when using Telltale Games Archive is that a specific TTARCH is not associated with the program. This causes the file TTARCH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TTARCH 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 Telltale Explorer

The first step is to check if the computer has the Telltale Explorer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Telltale Explorer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TTARCH with Telltale Explorer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TTARCH files.

Programs to open TTARCH file

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

Step 2. Create association of Telltale Explorer with TTARCH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TTARCH file to open in the Telltale Explorer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Telltale Explorer application as the default for handling the TTARCH file.

Step 3. Update Telltale Explorer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Telltale Explorer program, it is possible that Telltale Games Archive requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Quick And Easy Software page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TTARCH 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 TTARCH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TTARCH 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TTARCH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TTARCH 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 TTARCH 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 option of recovering data from damaged TTARCH files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Telltale Games help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TTARCH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the TTARCH file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
