Remember to download programs supporting DAY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Day of the Zombie with DAY files
If, despite the installed application, the DAY file does not start in the Day of the Zombie application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Day of the Zombie application as the default for handling the DAY file.
Step 3. Update Day of the Zombie to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Day of the Zombie program, it is possible that Day Of The Zombie Map Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Brainbox Games page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAY 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DAY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DAY file. However, remember that not every infected DAY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DAY file. 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 DAY file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BrainBox Games, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DAY 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DAY file to another location will fix the problem.
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 DAY file again. However, some background programs may block the DAY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
