How to open RVDATA file?

An often recurring problem with RPG Maker VX Data Format is that RVDATA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RVDATA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RVDATA 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the RPG Maker program installed. To do this, enter the name RPG Maker into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RVDATA files.

Programs to open RVDATA file

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

Step 2. Create association of RPG Maker with RVDATA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RVDATA file to open in the RPG Maker application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 RVDATA file with the RPG Maker program.

Step 3. Update RPG Maker to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RPG Maker program with the RPG Maker VX Data Format 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 Enterbrain, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RVDATA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RVDATA file. Sometimes virus-infected RVDATA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RVDATA 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RVDATA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Enterbrain
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVDATA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RVDATA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RVDATA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
