How to open DDSX file?
The main problem with Stronghold Kingdoms Data is that the DDSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DDSX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DDSX 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 Stronghold Kingdoms
The first step is to check if the computer has the Stronghold Kingdoms program installed. This can be achieved by typing Stronghold Kingdoms into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DDSX with Stronghold Kingdoms. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DDSX files.
Programs to open DDSX file
Remember to download programs supporting DDSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Stronghold Kingdoms with DDSX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DDSX file to open in the Stronghold Kingdoms 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 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 Stronghold Kingdoms application as the default for handling the DDSX file.
Step 3. Update Stronghold Kingdoms to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Stronghold Kingdoms program with the Stronghold Kingdoms Data 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 Firefly Studios Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DDSX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DDSX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DDSX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 DDSX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DDSX 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 DDSX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DDSX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Firefly Studios Ltd. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DDSX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DDSX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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.
