How to open GRLE file?

An often recurring problem with Farming Simulator Save Game is that GRLE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GRLE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRLE 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.

Step 1. Install Farming Simulator

In this case, you should first verify that the Farming Simulator application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Farming Simulator into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support GRLE files.

Programs to open GRLE file

Remember to download programs supporting GRLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Farming Simulator with GRLE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GRLE file to open in the Farming Simulator application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GRLE file with the Farming Simulator application.

Step 3. Update Farming Simulator to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Farming Simulator program, it is possible that Farming Simulator Save Game requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GIANTS Software GmBH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRLE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GRLE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GRLE file. However, remember that not every infected GRLE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GRLE files changes over time. 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 GRLE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact GIANTS Software GmBH
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GRLE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GRLE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GRLE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
