How to open WFT file?

The most common problem when using GTA 4 Car Model Format is that a specific WFT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that WFT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WFT 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 GTA IV

In this case, you should first verify that the GTA IV application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GTA IV 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 WFT files.

Programs to open WFT file

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

Step 2. Create association of GTA IV with WFT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WFT file to open in the GTA IV 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WFT file with the GTA IV program.

Step 3. Update GTA IV to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GTA IV program, it is possible that GTA 4 Car Model Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WFT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WFT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WFT 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 WFT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WFT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WFT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WFT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WFT to close. However, some background programs may block the WFT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
