Step 1. Install Dragon UnPACKer

The first step is to check if the computer has the Dragon UnPACKer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dragon UnPACKer in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZIPFS files.

Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with ZIPFS files

If, despite the installed application, the ZIPFS file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 ZIPFS file with the Dragon UnPACKer program.

Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Dragon UnPACKer program, it is possible that 18 Wheels Of Steel: Across America Game requires a newer version of the program.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 Alexandre Devilliers page and install.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZIPFS 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZIPFS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZIPFS 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 ZIPFS 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZIPFS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ValuSoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZIPFS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ZIPFS file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZIPFS to close. However, some background programs may block the ZIPFS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
