How to open CANIM file?
The main problem with Shank Game is that the CANIM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CANIM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CANIM 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 Shank
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Shank is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Shank into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CANIM files.
Programs to open CANIM file
Remember to download programs supporting CANIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Shank with CANIM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CANIM file still does not use the Shank program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CANIM file with the Shank program.
Step 3. Update Shank to the latest version
If, however, after binding Shank with Shank Game 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 Klei Entertainment Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CANIM 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. Usually this applies to CANIM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CANIM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CANIM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CANIM 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CANIM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Klei Entertainment Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CANIM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CANIM 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CANIM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
