The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRC 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 FS Recorder

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FRC with FS Recorder. Below you will find a list of applications that support FRC files.
Programs to open FRC file
Remember to download programs supporting FRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FS Recorder with FRC files
If, despite the installed application, the FRC file does not start in the FS Recorder application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 FRC file with the FS Recorder application.
Step 3. Update FS Recorder to the latest version
If, however, after binding FS Recorder with FS Recorder Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRC 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FRC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FRC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FRC 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 FRC 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FRC file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRC 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 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. Copying the FRC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FRC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FRC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
