File extension .DL
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Zoo Tycoon 2 Game Format | Microsoft | Game Files |
The DL file extension is associated with Zoo Tycoon 2, a video game developed by Microsoft Game Studios. It is a part of the Tycoon video game series. This specific file type is used to store data related to the game. It contains information about the landscaping, animals, and other objects used for building the zoo in-game.
File Specifications
The DL files are stored in binary format and use a combination of binary code, variables, bitmaps, resource descriptors, and text strings to store the game data structures. These files are used as temporary files only and are not designed to be edited or read by end-users. They used alongside other file types such as RUL, PAT, AVI, and CAM.
How to open a DL File
As mentioned, they are not to be opened by humans and thus don't require any specific programs to open them. In case a user finds a DL file on their system, they can delete it as it likely originates from a software crash or some other issue. DL files should open automatically on Windows if you double-click it after launching Zoo Tycoon 2.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
