How to open WGPKG file?

The main problem with WarGaming Update Package Format is that the WGPKG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WGPKG 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 WGPKG 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 World of Tanks

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that World of Tanks is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name World of Tanks into the 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 WGPKG files.

Step 2. Create association of World of Tanks with WGPKG files

If, despite the installed application, the WGPKG file does not start in the World of Tanks application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 WGPKG file with the World of Tanks program.

Step 3. Update World of Tanks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the World of Tanks program, it is possible that WarGaming Update Package Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Wargaming.net page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WGPKG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WGPKG file. However, remember that not every infected WGPKG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WGPKG 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WGPKG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WGPKG 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WGPKG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WGPKG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WGPKG file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
