How to open XARC file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XARC 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 Longest Journey

Programs to open XARC file
Remember to download programs supporting XARC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Longest Journey with XARC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XARC file still does not use the The Longest Journey program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XARC file with the The Longest Journey application.
Step 3. Update The Longest Journey to the latest version
If, despite the association of the The Longest Journey program with the The Longest Journey Audio file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Funcom page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XARC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The XARC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XARC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XARC file. However, remember that not every infected XARC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XARC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XARC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Funcom help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XARC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XARC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XARC 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 XARC file again. 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.
