How to open LOCRES file?
The main problem with Unreal Tournament Localization Data Format is that the LOCRES file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LOCRES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOCRES 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 Unreal Tournament
In this case, you should first verify that the Unreal Tournament application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Unreal Tournament 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 LOCRES with Unreal Tournament. Below you will find a list of applications that support LOCRES files.
Programs to open LOCRES file
Remember to download programs supporting LOCRES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unreal Tournament with LOCRES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LOCRES file still does not use the Unreal Tournament program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 LOCRES file with the Unreal Tournament program.
Step 3. Update Unreal Tournament to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Unreal Tournament program with the Unreal Tournament Localization Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Epic Games, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOCRES file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LOCRES 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LOCRES file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LOCRES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LOCRES file. 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 LOCRES files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LOCRES 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LOCRES file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LOCRES file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
