Programs to open SKEL file
Remember to download programs supporting SKEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Darkest Dungeon with SKEL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SKEL file to open in the Darkest Dungeon 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Darkest Dungeon application as the default for handling the SKEL file.
Step 3. Update Darkest Dungeon to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Darkest Dungeon program, it is possible that Darkest Dungeon Animation Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Red Hook Studios website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKEL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SKEL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SKEL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 SKEL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKEL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SKEL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SKEL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SKEL 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 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. It is best to move SKEL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SKEL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SKEL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
