Sources of MA2 Problems


Issues Opening MA2 Files

Diablo II is Not Installed

When you double-click your MA2 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Diablo II isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your MA2 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you don't have Diablo II installed, and you know of another program to open your MA2 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Diablo II is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Diablo II isn't able to open your Diablo II Map File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Blizzard Entertainment Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Diablo II. 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: If you right-click on your MA2 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening MA2 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading MA2 Files

Although you might already have Diablo II or another MA2-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Diablo II Map File files. Other MA2 opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:

  • MA2 file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The MA2 file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Defective install of a MA2 program, such as Diablo II
  • MA2 file corruption
  • MA2 file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with MA2 has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Diablo II Map File file
