How to open DS2RES file?
The most common problem when using Dungeon Siege 2 Data is that a specific DS2RES is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DS2RES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DS2RES 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 Dungeon Siege 2
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dungeon Siege 2 is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dungeon Siege 2 into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DS2RES files.
Programs to open DS2RES file
Remember to download programs supporting DS2RES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dungeon Siege 2 with DS2RES files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DS2RES file to open in the Dungeon Siege 2 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DS2RES file with the Dungeon Siege 2 program.
Step 3. Update Dungeon Siege 2 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dungeon Siege 2 program with the Dungeon Siege 2 Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gas Powered Games website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DS2RES file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DS2RES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DS2RES file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DS2RES or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DS2RES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DS2RES files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DS2RES file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Gas Powered Games
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DS2RES 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. It is best to move DS2RES to a different directory.
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. 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.
