Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with RVR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RVR file still does not use the Dragon UnPACKer program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 RVR file with the Dragon UnPACKer application.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dragon UnPACKer program with the Revenant Game Archive 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 Alexandre Devilliers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RVR 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 RVR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RVR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RVR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RVR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RVR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RVR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eidos Interactive Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVR 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. It is best to move RVR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RVR file again. However, some background programs may block the RVR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
