How to open RVPROJ file?

An often recurring problem with RPG Maker VX Project Format is that RVPROJ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RVPROJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RVPROJ 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RVPROJ.

Programs to open RVPROJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of RPG Maker with RVPROJ files

If, despite the installed application, the RVPROJ file does not start in the RPG Maker application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 RPG Maker application as the default for handling the RVPROJ file.

Step 3. Update RPG Maker to the latest version

If, however, after binding RPG Maker with RPG Maker VX Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 RVPROJ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The RVPROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RVPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RVPROJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RVPROJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RVPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 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 RVPROJ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Enterbrain help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVPROJ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RVPROJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RVPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
