How to open 3DR file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3DR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Programs to open 3DR file
Remember to download programs supporting 3DR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3DMark with 3DR files
If, despite the installed application, the 3DR file does not start in the 3DMark application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3DR file with the 3DMark application.
Step 3. Update 3DMark to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3DMark with 3DMark Results Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Futuremark Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3DR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The 3DR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 3DR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 3DR file. However, remember that not every infected 3DR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 3DR file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 3DR files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Futuremark
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 3DR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 3DR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
