DGSL Troubleshooting

Frequent DGSL Opening Issues

Microsoft Visual Studio Isn't There

When trying to open your DGSL file, you get the error "Can't Open DGSL File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Visual Studio isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your DGSL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your DGSL file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version

In other instances, your Microsoft Visual Studio Visual Shader Graph File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Visual Studio Visual Shader Graph File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio than you have on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your DGSL file and clicking "Properties".

Conclusion: The majority of DGSL file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.
