Programs to open RLW file
Remember to download programs supporting RLW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged with RLW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RLW file still does not use the Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RLW file with the Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged program.

If, despite the association of the Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged program with the Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Reflexive Entertainment website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RLW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RLW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RLW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RLW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RLW 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 RLW 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RLW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Reflexive® Entertainment Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RLW 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RLW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RLW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RLW to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
