How to open RL2 file?
An often recurring problem with Descent 2 Registered Level is that RL2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RL2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RL2 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 2
The first step is to check if the computer has the Descent 2 program installed. To do this, enter the name Descent 2 into the 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 RL2 files.
Programs to open RL2 file
Remember to download programs supporting RL2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Descent 2 with RL2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RL2 file to open in the Descent 2 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RL2 file with the Descent 2 program.
Step 3. Update Descent 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Descent 2 program, it is possible that Descent 2 Registered Level requires a newer version of the program. 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 RL2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RL2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RL2 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RL2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RL2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RL2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RL2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Interplay Entertainment Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RL2 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 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. Copying the RL2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RL2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RL2 to close. However, some background programs may block the RL2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
