How to open HSV file?
The most common problem when using Diablo: Hellfire Singleplayer Character Data is that a specific HSV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HSV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HSV 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 DiabloBackup
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DiabloBackup is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DiabloBackup 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 HSV with DiabloBackup. Below you will find a list of applications that support HSV files.
Programs to open HSV file
Remember to download programs supporting HSV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DiabloBackup with HSV files
If, despite the installed application, the HSV file does not start in the DiabloBackup 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 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HSV file with the DiabloBackup program.
Step 3. Update DiabloBackup to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DiabloBackup program with the Diablo: Hellfire Singleplayer Character 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 Kevin Lambert page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HSV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 HSV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HSV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HSV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HSV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 HSV files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HSV 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 HSV file to another location.
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 HSV file again. However, some background programs may block the HSV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
