The RL1 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RL1 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RL1 file on each system platform.
What is RL1 file?
The file in the RL1 format belongs to the Game Files category. It was designed by Interplay Entertainment Corporation. Additionally, the Game Files category contains 1509 of other files. Descent 1 Registered Level is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Descent application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Interplay Entertainment Corporation.
How to open RL1 file?
The most common problem when using Descent 1 Registered Level is that a specific RL1 is not associated with the program. This causes the file RL1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RL1 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 Descent
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Descent is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Descent into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RL1 with Descent. Below you will find a list of applications that support RL1 files.
Programs to open RL1 file
Remember to download programs supporting RL1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Descent with RL1 files
If, despite the installed application, the RL1 file does not start in the Descent application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RL1 file with the Descent program.
Step 3. Update Descent to the latest version
If, however, after binding Descent with Descent 1 Registered Level there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Interplay Entertainment Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RL1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RL1 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 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RL1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RL1 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 RL1 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RL1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Interplay Entertainment Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RL1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RL1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RL1 to close. However, some background programs may block the RL1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
