RB Troubleshooting
Common RB Opening Problems
Divinity: Original Sin Not Present
When you double-click your RB file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Divinity: Original Sin isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your RB with Divinity: Original Sin, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another RB application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of Divinity: Original Sin is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Divinity: Original Sin Game Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Larian Studios website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Divinity: Original Sin. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Investigate your RB file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of RB file opening issues are due to not having the correct Divinity: Original Sin version installed.
Other RB File Opening Causes
You can still experience errors opening RB files even with the latest version of Divinity: Original Sin installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening RB files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Invalid RB file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry RB description
- Invalid installation of a RB-associated program (eg. Divinity: Original Sin)
- File corruption affecting your RB file
- Past or present virus infection has affected your RB
- Hardware associated with RB has outdated drivers
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Divinity: Original Sin Game Data format
