Sources of GBX Problems
Common GBX Opening Problems
TrackMania Not Present
Double-clicking your GBX file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GBX File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because TrackMania isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the GBX file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When another GBX application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of TrackMania is Installed
It is possible that your version of TrackMania isn't able to open your Nadeo Game File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of TrackMania if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Nadeo Game File file was created by a different (newer) version of TrackMania than what's installed.
Tip: Investigate your GBX file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening GBX files are due to having the incorrect version of TrackMania installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading GBX Files
Although you might already have TrackMania or another GBX-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Nadeo Game File files. If you're still experiencing problems opening GBX files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Windows Registry GBX file paths that are incorrect
- The GBX file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the GBX format
- Something has caused file corruption of your GBX
- Malware-tainted GBX file can't be opened
- GBX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Nadeo Game File file successfully
