How to open 3DI file?

The most common problem when using Delta Force Object Collection is that a specific 3DI is not associated with the program. This causes the file 3DI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3DI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Delta Force

In this case, you should first verify that the Delta Force application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Delta Force into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 3DI files.

Step 2. Create association of Delta Force with 3DI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 3DI file to open in the Delta Force application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3DI file with the Delta Force application.

Step 3. Update Delta Force to the latest version

If, however, after binding Delta Force with Delta Force Object Collection there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NovaLogic, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3DI file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to 3DI 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 3DI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 3DI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 3DI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 3DI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use NovaLogic, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 3DI 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 3DI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 3DI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
