How to open OLV file?
The most common problem when using Roller Coaster Tycoon is that a specific OLV is not associated with the program. This causes the file OLV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OLV 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 Roller Coaster Tycoon

Programs to open OLV file
Remember to download programs supporting OLV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Roller Coaster Tycoon with OLV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OLV file to open in the Roller Coaster Tycoon application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Roller Coaster Tycoon application as the default for handling the OLV file.
Step 3. Update Roller Coaster Tycoon to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Roller Coaster Tycoon program, it is possible that Roller Coaster Tycoon requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Chris Sawyer website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OLV 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OLV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OLV file. Sometimes virus-infected OLV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OLV file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OLV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Chris Sawyer
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OLV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the OLV file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OLV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OLV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
