If, despite the installed application, the SHDC file does not start in the ArmA: Armed Assault application, you must create a file association.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHDC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SHDC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SHDC file. However, remember that not every infected SHDC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SHDC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SHDC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bohemia Interactive help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SHDC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SHDC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SHDC 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 SHDC to close. 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.
