How to open VXL file?
An often recurring problem with Tiberian Sun Voxel Animation Format is that VXL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VXL 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 VXL 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 Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun
The first step is to check if the computer has the Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun program installed. To do this, enter the name Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VXL files.
Programs to open VXL file
Remember to download programs supporting VXL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun with VXL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VXL file to open in the Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VXL file with the Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun program.
Step 3. Update Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun program, it is possible that Tiberian Sun Voxel Animation Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Electronic Arts, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VXL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VXL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VXL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VXL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VXL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VXL files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VXL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Electronic Arts, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VXL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VXL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VXL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VXL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
