BL2 file extension
The BL2 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BL2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BL2 file on each system platform.
What is BL2 file?
The file with the extension BL2 is the Raster Image Files file type. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. DEGAS Elite Block Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is RECOIL. This was created by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.
How to open BL2 file?
An often recurring problem with DEGAS Elite Block Format is that BL2 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BL2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BL2 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 RECOIL
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RECOIL is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RECOIL into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BL2 files.
Programs to open BL2 file
Remember to download programs supporting BL2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with BL2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BL2 file still does not use the RECOIL program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BL2 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RECOIL program with the DEGAS Elite Block Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BL2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BL2 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BL2 file. Sometimes virus-infected BL2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BL2 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BL2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BL2 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the BL2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BL2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BL2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BL2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
