"failed to open document" | Forum
when i try to upload an uncopylocked roblox game that a dowloaded when i try to open the file it says "failed to open document"
that's because in old roblox games the place files are stored in "XML" format which is human readable text. new roblox games are in a custom binary format which old roblox clients cannot read. The way to fix that is to open the rbxl file in modern roblox studio, then save it as an .rbxlx file.
Also, once its saved as .rbxlx rename the extension back to rbxl or old roblox might fail to recognize it's file name
