Sources of REL Problems

Issues Opening REL Files

Stage Switcher Removed

When trying to open your REL file, you get the error "Can't Open REL File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Stage Switcher installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your REL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: When another REL application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Stage Switcher

In other instances, your Relocatable Module File file version may not be supported by your version of Stage Switcher. Visit the Unknown Developer website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Stage Switcher. Your Relocatable Module File file was probably created by a newer release of Stage Switcher than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your REL file and clicking "Properties".

Primarily, problems experienced when opening REL files are due to having the incorrect version of Stage Switcher installed on your computer.

Other Causes of REL File Opening Problems

Errors opening Relocatable Module File files can still occur even with the latest Stage Switcher software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading REL files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:
