How to open R31 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 33) is that a specific R31 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that R31 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

Step 1. Install WinRAR

Programs to open R31 file
Remember to download programs supporting R31 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R31 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R31 file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 R31 file with the WinRAR application.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 33) requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the win.rar GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R31 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R31 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R31 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected R31 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R31 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R31 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eugene Roshal
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file R31 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the R31 file to another location will fix the problem.
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 R31 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R31 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
