How to open RPGSAVE file?

The most common problem when using RPG Maker Saved Game Format is that a specific RPGSAVE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RPGSAVE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPGSAVE 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 RPG Maker

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RPGSAVE files.

Programs to open RPGSAVE file

Remember to download programs supporting RPGSAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of RPG Maker with RPGSAVE files

If, despite the installed application, the RPGSAVE file does not start in the RPG Maker 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RPGSAVE file with the RPG Maker program.

Step 3. Update RPG Maker to the latest version

If, however, after binding RPG Maker with RPG Maker Saved Game Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Enterbrain, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPGSAVE 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. Usually this applies to RPGSAVE 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RPGSAVE file. However, remember that not every infected RPGSAVE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RPGSAVE 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 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 RPGSAVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RPGSAVE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RPGSAVE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 RPGSAVE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
