How to open FC2MAP file?
The main problem with Far Cry 2 User Map is that the FC2MAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FC2MAP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FC2MAP 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 Far Cry 2
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Far Cry 2 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Far Cry 2 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FC2MAP with Far Cry 2.

Programs to open FC2MAP file
Remember to download programs supporting FC2MAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Far Cry 2 with FC2MAP files
If, despite the installed application, the FC2MAP file does not start in the Far Cry 2 application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Far Cry 2 application as the default for handling the FC2MAP file.
Step 3. Update Far Cry 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Far Cry 2 program, it is possible that Far Cry 2 User Map requires a newer version of the program.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 Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FC2MAP 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 FC2MAP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FC2MAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FC2MAP file. Sometimes virus-infected FC2MAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FC2MAP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FC2MAP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ubisoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FC2MAP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FC2MAP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FC2MAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FC2MAP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FC2MAP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
