Troubles Opening SV5 Files

RollerCoaster Tycoon Isn't There

If you attempt to load your SV5 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SV5 Files". Usually, this is because you do not have RollerCoaster Tycoon for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens SV5 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Obsolete Version of RollerCoaster Tycoon

Your Chris Sawyer's Locomotion Saved Game File file is incompatible with RollerCoaster Tycoon because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Chris Sawyer website to download (or purchase) the latest version of RollerCoaster Tycoon. Your Chris Sawyer's Locomotion Saved Game File file was probably created by a newer release of RollerCoaster Tycoon than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your SV5 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of SV5 file opening issues are due to not having the correct RollerCoaster Tycoon version installed.


Additional SV5 Opening Issues

Errors opening Chris Sawyer's Locomotion Saved Game File files can still occur even with the latest RollerCoaster Tycoon software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening SV5s. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • SV5 file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SV5 description
  • Defective install of a SV5 program, such as RollerCoaster Tycoon
  • SV5 file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your SV5
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SV5 file are corrupt or out-of-date
