How to open UBOX file?
An often recurring problem with Universe Sandbox Data Format is that UBOX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UBOX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UBOX 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 Universe Sandbox
The first step is to check if the computer has the Universe Sandbox program installed. This can be achieved by typing Universe Sandbox 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 you will find a list of applications that support UBOX files.
Programs to open UBOX file
Remember to download programs supporting UBOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Universe Sandbox with UBOX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UBOX file still does not use the Universe Sandbox program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UBOX file with the Universe Sandbox program.
Step 3. Update Universe Sandbox to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Universe Sandbox program with the Universe Sandbox Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Giant Army website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UBOX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The UBOX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UBOX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 UBOX file. However, remember that not every infected UBOX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UBOX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UBOX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Universe Sandbox help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UBOX 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the UBOX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UBOX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UBOX file again. However, some background programs may block the UBOX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
