As the title says i can't open V8U8 DDS files, neither with Paint.NET v3.5.11, nor with v4.0.b5. Everytime i try to open them with 3.5.11 I get the following error message 'There was an unspecified error while opening the file', while opening them with 4.0.b5 yields this message:
<pre>
System.FormatException: File is not a supported DDS format

The weird part is that I'm pretty sure I was able to open them about a year ago. Since then I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. I'm also sure that these files are not corrupt, unfortunately I can't upload one of them, because they are to big (10MB). But if you're interested I can provide a link to a place where they are hosted:

In order to open *.tpf files you need a program called TPFExtract which can be downloaded here:

Thanks for your help!
Edit: GIMP and XnView have no problem opening them. I just tried that to be sure they aren't corrupted...
