What is RRF file?

The file with the extension RRF is the GIS Files file type. The creator of this file is Raymarine UK Ltd. GIS Files consists of 255 similar files.

How to open RRF file?

The main problem with Raytech is that the RRF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RRF, 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 RRF 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 RayTech

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RayTech is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RayTech into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RRF with RayTech. Below you will find a list of applications that support RRF files.

Programs to open RRF file

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

Step 2. Create association of RayTech with RRF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RRF file still does not use the RayTech program, it means no association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RRF file with the RayTech application.

Step 3. Update RayTech to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the RayTech program, it is possible that Raytech requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Raymarine UK Ltd page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RRF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The RRF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RRF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RRF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RRF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RRF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RRF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Raymarine UK Ltd
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RRF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RRF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RRF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RRF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
