    Hey, I'm sorry as I can bet this has been spoken about before, but I really do not understand it.

    Usually when I download a game I have to unzip it and it comes up straight and easy like this:

    But now I have come across a file that I do not understand. I extract the .rar file, but it then creates a number of different littler zipped up files. This is how it appears:

    What do I do with all these files? Do i need to extract everyone of them and then copy onto my r4ds in the games folder or what? Usually It's just one file, like with the top link that I copy in. This has completely confused me!

    Sorry if this has been asked before!

    they are partial archives. Extracting one will combine them to produce the file you want.

    So if I simply extract any one of them (eg. the one ending in .04) it will come up with a file like in my top link? I then simply put it into my r4ds?

    Thanks so much!

    yes. they must all be intact and in the same folder for it to work.
