Understanding DSHADER Issues

Common Problems Opening DSHADER Files

Microsoft Visual Studio is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your DSHADER file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DSHADER Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Visual Studio missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your DSHADER with Microsoft Visual Studio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another DSHADER application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Microsoft Visual Studio is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Visual Studio Text Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Visual Studio (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Right-clicking on your DSHADER, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening DSHADER files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
