How to open RVI file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RVI 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 Dragon UnPACKer
In this case, you should first verify that the Dragon UnPACKer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dragon UnPACKer 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 RVI with Dragon UnPACKer.

Programs to open RVI file
Remember to download programs supporting RVI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with RVI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RVI file to open in the Dragon UnPACKer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RVI file with the Dragon UnPACKer application.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Dragon UnPACKer with Revenant Game Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Alexandre Devilliers website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RVI 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RVI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RVI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RVI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RVI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RVI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eidos Interactive Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RVI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RVI 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 RVI to close. However, some background programs may block the RVI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
