What is a CGP file?

CGP files mostly belong to Call of Duty. CGP files are specialized data containers used mainly within certain game environments. In many cases they hold Call of Duty game settings, player profiles, and compressed in‐game data.
These files can also be found in other game engines and software, serving as:

a repository for game configuration and performance settings

compressed data files used by tools such as CryENGINE Shader Graph or sandbox editors

configuration or profile files for titles like Pro Evolution Soccer and Car Mechanic Simulator

Other uses may include storing chart data for instruments like Eurotherm and even non‐game data such as files for guitar chord displays or printer configuration in graphic projects.
If your CGP file is tied to a Call of Duty title, it is best viewed within that game’s ecosystem. For additional specifics, visit the Call of Duty official website.
FilExt.com tip: Because these files are typically managed automatically by the software that created them, manual editing is not recommended without the proper tools.

How to open CGP files

You need a suitable software like Call of Duty to open a CGP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CGP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CGP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

CGP format details:

To view or edit CGP files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the CGP files is as follows:

The CGP file extension is quite common and includes different formats for the applicable programs. But the following two file formats are common:

20% of all CGP files have the same signature 76 73 07. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The files are 340 bytes to 7 KB in size, with a median of 1 KB. The file type is a fairly new file format. Some examples of file names are user_settings_t9.cgp or zm_loadouts_offline.cgp. Such CGP files store data about loadouts, offline, settings, user, stats, codcaster, players and recent.
15% of all CGP files have the same signature 65 9A 48 81 AA 9D EB 57. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. CGP files are between 1 KB and 1 KB in size. Examples of file names are user_mp.cgp or user_zm.cgp.

All the rest of the CGP files (65%) have different formats, often e.g. NetCaptor's CaptorGroup, Xilinx Core Generator System Project, ZIP, pkI, CGP and shaders. Tagged as savegame, common, save, zmachine, nightmare or shoutcaster. If you want to find out what your CGP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
