How to open IMC file?

The most common problem when using LucasArts Game Sound is that a specific IMC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IMC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMC 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 X-Wing Alliance

In this case, you should first verify that the X-Wing Alliance application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name X-Wing Alliance in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IMC with X-Wing Alliance. Below you will find a list of applications that support IMC files.

Step 2. Create association of X-Wing Alliance with IMC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IMC file to open in the X-Wing Alliance 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IMC file with the X-Wing Alliance program.

Step 3. Update X-Wing Alliance to the latest version

If, however, after binding X-Wing Alliance with LucasArts Game Sound there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMC 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 IMC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IMC file. 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. 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 IMC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IMC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IMC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IMC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IMC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the IMC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IMC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IMC to close. However, some background programs may block the IMC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
