How to open TXB file?
The most common problem when using Descent / Descent 2 Encoded Briefing is that a specific TXB is not associated with the program. This causes the file TXB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TXB 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 Descent
The first step is to check if the computer has the Descent program installed. To do this, enter the name Descent into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TXB with Descent.

Programs to open TXB file
Remember to download programs supporting TXB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Descent with TXB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TXB file still does not use the Descent program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TXB file with the Descent program.
Step 3. Update Descent to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Descent program, it is possible that Descent / Descent 2 Encoded Briefing requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Interplay Entertainment Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TXB 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:
The TXB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TXB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TXB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TXB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TXB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TXB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Interplay Entertainment Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TXB 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. Copying the TXB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. However, some background programs may block the TXB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
