How to open VVS file?

The most common problem when using Driver 3 Game Data is that a specific VVS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VVS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VVS 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 Driver 3

The first step is to check if the computer has the Driver 3 program installed. This can be achieved by typing Driver 3 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 VVS files.

Programs to open VVS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Driver 3 with VVS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VVS file to open in the Driver 3 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 VVS file with the Driver 3 application.

Step 3. Update Driver 3 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Driver 3 with Driver 3 Game Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Atari, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VVS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VVS file. 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. 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 VVS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VVS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VVS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VVS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Atari, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VVS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VVS 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VVS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
