DSR File Complications


Frequent DSR Opening Issues

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Not Present

If you attempt to load your DSR file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DSR Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your DSR, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Outdated Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Sometimes your installed version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare won't support your Modern Warfare 3 Dedicated Server Recipe File file. Installing the latest version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from Activision is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Modern Warfare 3 Dedicated Server Recipe File file was created by a different (newer) version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare than what's installed.


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


Regardless, most of the DSR file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare installed.


Other Causes of DSR File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DSR files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening DSRs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • DSR file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the DSR file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your DSR
  • DSR file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers for DSR-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Modern Warfare 3 Dedicated Server Recipe File file
