The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SKUDEF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SKUDEF file. Sometimes virus-infected SKUDEF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SKUDEF files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SKUDEF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SKUDEF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SKUDEF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SKUDEF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SKUDEF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
