How to open RTU file?
The most common problem when using RivaTuner Update is that a specific RTU is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RTU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RTU 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 RivaTuner
In this case, you should first verify that the RivaTuner application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RivaTuner into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RTU with RivaTuner. Below is a list of programs that support the file RTU.
Programs to open RTU file
Remember to download programs supporting RTU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RivaTuner with RTU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTU file still does not use the RivaTuner program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RivaTuner application as the default for handling the RTU file.
Step 3. Update RivaTuner to the latest version
If, however, after binding RivaTuner with RivaTuner Update there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Guru3D.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RTU 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 RTU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RTU file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RTU file. However, remember that not every infected RTU 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 RTU files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RTU files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Guru3D.com
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RTU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RTU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RTU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RTU file again. However, some background programs may block the RTU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
