What is an RTS file?

RTS files mostly belong to Text Editor. An RTS file often acts as a configuration file that an application reads at runtime. In many cases, it serves two roles:

  • Runtime Settings: This version stores parameters and options that a program or game uses to control its behavior. Such files are common in software like those linked with BioWare Resource Files.
  • Regression Analysis Data: In some instances, an RTS file holds structured numeric data used for time series analysis, often called a RATS data file (short for Regression Analysis of Time Series).

FilExt.com notes: To view an RTS file, you can try opening it with a basic text editor if the file is in plain text. If it uses a proprietary format, you may need the specialized software that created it. Always remember to back up the file before making any changes.

How to open an RTS file

You need a suitable software like Text Editor to open an RTS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RTS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RTS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
