"Unexcepted file format."

So, I tried to open my game file and it said "Unexcepted file format."?

The easy way to fix this is replacing your project's *.rvproj2 (icon has two cog wheels in it) with one from a new project.

Now it says "Failed to load common event data." ?

Well, then replace the Data\CommonEvents.rvdata2 with the one from your latest backup.

I haven't got any backups.

Sounds like something in your project has become corrupted.


All you can do is replace those files from a new project until you stop getting the error message. Then you have to figure out what you've lost and key it all in again.


Backups are excellent.

I don't know which files are corrupted and I haven't got any backups.

You know which files are corrupted because the engine tells you when you try to load the game.


There may be several files, and you have to replace them one by one until you no longer get the error message.


I know you haven't got any backups - you already said that. That's why I said backups are excellent - you need to start making them. Can't help you this time, but it can help you if it happens again.

Ummm, I putted in all the new project's data files and overwrited, somehow there is 0 maps. That is just like a new project. I want my game back!

NEVERMIND I REPLACED THE COMMON EVENTS DATA WITH A NEW PROJECT'S FILE AND IT WORKED! ALL MY MAPS AND THINGS, EVERYTHING IS BACK THANK YOU!

Which is what we said to do ;) You might have to redo your common events, as they probably would have been lost, if you had any.
