How to open RVS file?

This causes the file RVS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RVS 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

Programs to open RVS file
Remember to download programs supporting RVS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with RVS files
If, despite the installed application, the RVS file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 RVS file with the Dragon UnPACKer program.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dragon UnPACKer program, it is possible that Revenant Game Archive requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Alexandre Devilliers page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RVS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RVS 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RVS file. Sometimes virus-infected RVS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RVS 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RVS file corruption. 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 file RVS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 RVS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RVS 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 RVS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RVS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
