What is RYS file?

The RECOIL application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.

How to open RYS file?

The main problem with Mamut Picture Image Format is that the RYS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RYS 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 RYS 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 RECOIL

The first step is to check if the computer has the RECOIL program installed. This can be achieved by typing RECOIL into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RYS files.

Programs to open RYS file

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

Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with RYS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RYS file still does not use the RECOIL program, it means no 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RYS file with the RECOIL application.

Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RECOIL program with the Mamut Picture Image 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 Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RYS 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 RYS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RYS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RYS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RYS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RYS 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.
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. Copying the RYS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RYS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
