How do I start up Overgrowth?

Post by Loshiro » Sat Jun 29, 2013 3:26 pm

So I just bought Overgrowth today, and I tried installing it with the regular download from the site. When it finished, it opened up its files in winrar format. Should I try reinstalling it or use the recommended installer?

I'm not sure what's wrong. Perhaps you don't have a program that can open a RAR file? Winrar format, or a .rar file, is a file packaging method, similar to ZIP archives. However, you need to download a separate program to open a Rar file. There are several free programs that can open Rar files, like WinRar.

I remember that the first time I came across a .rar file I was stumped, and eventually deleted the game without ever finding out how I was supposed to install it. :D

Exactly. You will have to download another software that can open the RAR file. There are lot of free software in the internet that you can download.
