How to open SV4 file?
The main problem with RollerCoaster Tycoon Saved Game is that the SV4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SV4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SV4 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.

Programs to open SV4 file
Remember to download programs supporting SV4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RollerCoaster Tycoon with SV4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SV4 file to open in the RollerCoaster Tycoon 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 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RollerCoaster Tycoon application as the default for handling the SV4 file.
Step 3. Update RollerCoaster Tycoon to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RollerCoaster Tycoon program, it is possible that RollerCoaster Tycoon Saved Game requires a newer version of the program.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 Atari, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SV4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SV4 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SV4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SV4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SV4 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SV4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Atari, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SV4 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 SV4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SV4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SV4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
