Programs to open UGD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Need For Speed Underground with UGD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UGD file to open in the Need For Speed Underground application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Need For Speed Underground application as the default for handling the UGD file.

Step 3. Update Need For Speed Underground to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Need For Speed Underground program, it is possible that Need For Speed Underground requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Electronic Arts, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UGD 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the UGD 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UGD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UGD 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 UGD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UGD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UGD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 UGD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UGD file again. However, some background programs may block the UGD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
