What is XRS file?
The file in the XRS format belongs to the Archive Files category. It was designed by Pixel Painters Corporation. Archive Files consists of 619 similar files. Dig It! Game is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Dragon UnPACKer. This was created by Alexandre Devilliers. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the XRS file. Dig It! will apply when it is not possible to use Dragon UnPACKer.
How to open XRS file?
An often recurring problem with Dig It! Game is that XRS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XRS 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 XRS 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dragon UnPACKer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Dragon UnPACKer 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 XRS files.
Programs to open XRS file
Remember to download programs supporting XRS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with XRS files
If, despite the installed application, the XRS file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Dragon UnPACKer application as the default for handling the XRS file.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dragon UnPACKer program with the Dig It! Game 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 XRS 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 suggests truncating the XRS 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XRS file. Sometimes virus-infected XRS 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 XRS 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XRS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Pixel Painters Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XRS 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 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. It is best to move XRS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XRS file again. However, some background programs may block the XRS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
