Programs to open AN2 file
Remember to download programs supporting AN2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos with AN2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AN2 file still does not use the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos application as the default for handling the AN2 file.
Step 3. Update Croc: Legend of the Gobbos to the latest version
If, however, after binding Croc: Legend of the Gobbos with Croc Animation Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AN2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AN2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AN2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AN2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AN2 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AN2 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AN2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the AN2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AN2 file again. 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.
