The main problem with Dungeons 2 Saved Game Format is that the DZ2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DZ2 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 DZ2 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 Dungeons 2

Programs to open DZ2 file
Remember to download programs supporting DZ2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dungeons 2 with DZ2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DZ2 file still does not use the Dungeons 2 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 DZ2 file with the Dungeons 2 program.
Step 3. Update Dungeons 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dungeons 2 program, it is possible that Dungeons 2 Saved Game Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Realmforge Studios website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DZ2 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DZ2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DZ2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DZ2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DZ2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DZ2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DZ2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DZ2 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DZ2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DZ2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
