How to open VEF file?
The main problem with Infinite Game Engine Visual Effects is that the VEF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VEF 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 VEF 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 Planescape: Torment
In this case, you should first verify that the Planescape: Torment application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Planescape: Torment into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VEF with Planescape: Torment. Below is a list of programs that support the file VEF.
Programs to open VEF file
Remember to download programs supporting VEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Planescape: Torment with VEF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VEF file to open in the Planescape: Torment application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VEF file with the Planescape: Torment application.
Step 3. Update Planescape: Torment to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Planescape: Torment program, it is possible that Infinite Game Engine Visual Effects requires a newer version of the program.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 Interplay Entertainment Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VEF 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 VEF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VEF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VEF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VEF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VEF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VEF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BioWare, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VEF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VEF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 VEF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
