Extract text from Trine 2 data files (FBQ)
To convert FBQ data files to another format, you need Trine 2 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Asset Archive" file type, you need software like Trine 2 or a similar tool.
A .fbq file is a proprietary game asset archive created by Frozenbyte for the physics-based puzzle platformer video game, Trine 2. It functions as a secure container that stores essential gameplay assets, including 3D models, high-resolution textures, level scripts, and audio tracks.
This format is strictly proprietary. Standard archive utilities like ZIP or RAR extractors cannot read it. It is difficult to edit or view without dedicated game modding software like QuickBMS. You cannot open it natively on Windows or macOS. Users trying to access the music or textures face a steep learning curve, as the file uses custom compression to optimize game load times.
Users typically want to extract the contents to accessible formats like PNG or DDS for textures, WAV or OGG for audio, or OBJ for 3D models. However, because this is a highly specific, closed game archive, standard online converters fail to process it. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FBQ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert FBQ file to BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z, RAR or ISO, you can use Trine 2 or similar software from the "Game Asset Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to FBQ, try Trine 2 or another comparable tool in the "Game Asset Archive" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FBQ converter.
