How to open VFE file?
An often recurring problem with Left 4 Dead is that VFE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VFE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VFE 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 Left 4 Dead
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Left 4 Dead is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Left 4 Dead into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file VFE.
Programs to open VFE file
Remember to download programs supporting VFE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Left 4 Dead with VFE files
If, despite the installed application, the VFE file does not start in the Left 4 Dead application, you must create a file 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 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 Left 4 Dead application as the default for handling the VFE file.
Step 3. Update Left 4 Dead to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Left 4 Dead program, it is possible that Left 4 Dead requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Valve Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VFE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VFE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VFE 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 VFE files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VFE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Valve Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VFE 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 VFE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VFE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VFE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
