What is DCC file?

The file in the DCC format belongs to the Game Files category. The creator of this file is Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.. Additionally, the Game Files category contains 1509 of other files. Diablo 2 Animation is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Diablo II to handle this file. This is a program created by Blizzard Entertainment, Inc..

How to open DCC file?

The main problem with Diablo 2 Animation is that the DCC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DCC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DCC 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 Diablo II

The first step is to check if the computer has the Diablo II program installed. This can be achieved by typing Diablo II into the operating 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 DCC files.

Programs to open DCC file

Remember to download programs supporting DCC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Diablo II with DCC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DCC file to open in the Diablo II 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 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DCC file with the Diablo II application.

Step 3. Update Diablo II to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Diablo II program, it is possible that Diablo 2 Animation requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DCC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The DCC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DCC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 DCC file. Sometimes virus-infected DCC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DCC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DCC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DCC 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. Copying the DCC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
