How to open VPCACHE file?
The main problem with Visual Pinball Rendered Table Cache is that the VPCACHE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VPCACHE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VPCACHE 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 Visual Pinball
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual Pinball application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual Pinball 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 VPCACHE files.
Programs to open VPCACHE file
Remember to download programs supporting VPCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual Pinball with VPCACHE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VPCACHE file still does not use the Visual Pinball program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VPCACHE file with the Visual Pinball program.
Step 3. Update Visual Pinball to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Visual Pinball program, it is possible that Visual Pinball Rendered Table Cache requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Randy Davis website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VPCACHE 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 VPCACHE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VPCACHE 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VPCACHE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VPCACHE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VPCACHE 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VPCACHE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Randy Davis, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VPCACHE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VPCACHE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 VPCACHE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VPCACHE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
