Programs to open SV6 file

Remember to download programs supporting SV6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with SV6 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SV6 file to open in the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SV6 file with the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 application.

Step 3. Update RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 program with the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Saved Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SV6 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SV6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SV6 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SV6 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SV6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SV6 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 SV6 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SV6 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SV6 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SV6 file again. However, some background programs may block the SV6 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
