How to open RS2 file?
The most common problem when using RailSim2 Saved Layout Format is that a specific RS2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RS2, 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 RS2 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 RailSim
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RailSim is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RailSim into the system search engine. 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 RS2 files.
Programs to open RS2 file
Remember to download programs supporting RS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RailSim with RS2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RS2 file to open in the RailSim 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 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RS2 file with the RailSim application.
Step 3. Update RailSim to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RailSim program, it is possible that RailSim2 Saved Layout Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Intaanetto Teiryuujo page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RS2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The RS2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RS2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 RS2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RS2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RS2 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RS2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RailSim2
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RS2 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RS2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RS2 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 RS2 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.
