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. 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 RA3SKIRMISH file with the Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 program.

Step 3. Update Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 program with the Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Skirmish Map file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RA3SKIRMISH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RA3SKIRMISH file. Sometimes virus-infected RA3SKIRMISH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RA3SKIRMISH 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RA3SKIRMISH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RA3SKIRMISH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RA3SKIRMISH file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RA3SKIRMISH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
