How to open TCA file?
The main problem with The Complete Animator Animation is that the TCA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TCA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TCA 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 The Complete Animator
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that The Complete Animator is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Complete Animator in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TCA files.
Programs to open TCA file
Remember to download programs supporting TCA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Complete Animator with TCA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TCA file to open in the The Complete Animator 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TCA file with the The Complete Animator program.
Step 3. Update The Complete Animator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Complete Animator program, it is possible that The Complete Animator Animation requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Iota Software Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCA 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TCA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TCA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TCA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TCA files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TCA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Iota Software Ltd. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TCA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TCA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TCA file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TCA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
