How to open AGE3REC file?
The main problem with Age Of Empires III Recorded Game is that the AGE3REC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AGE3REC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGE3REC 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 Age of Empires III
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Age of Empires III is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Age of Empires III in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AGE3REC.
Programs to open AGE3REC file
Remember to download programs supporting AGE3REC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Age of Empires III with AGE3REC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AGE3REC file to open in the Age of Empires III application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Age of Empires III application as the default for handling the AGE3REC file.
Step 3. Update Age of Empires III to the latest version
If, however, after binding Age of Empires III with Age Of Empires III Recorded Game there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Studios website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGE3REC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AGE3REC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AGE3REC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGE3REC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AGE3REC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AGE3REC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Studios, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AGE3REC 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. It is best to move AGE3REC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AGE3REC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
