Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of RAR 5.40.

What's new in this version:

- If RAR recovery volumes (.rev files) are present in the same directory as usual RAR volumes, archive test command verifies .rev contents after completing testing .rar files

If you wish to test only .rev files without checking .rar volumes, you can run:
- rar t arcname.part1.rev
- Previously "Synchronize archive contents" mode (-as switch) aborted if some of archiving directories could not be read. Now RAR continues performing the operation and preserves archived files matching unreadable directories
- If -iver switch is specified, RAR displays the version number and quits. You can run just "RAR -iver"
- If -p switch is used without optional parameter, a password can be also set with file redirection or pipe
- For example: rar -p myarc.rar myfiles < psw.txt
- RAR treats 'arcname.partN' as 'arcname.partN.rar' if 'arcname.partN' does not exist and 'arcname.part#.rar' exists

For example, it is allowed to run:
- RAR x arcname.part01
- to start extraction from arcname.part01.rar
- Maximum comment length for RAR archives is increased from 64 to 256 KB
- Switch -scul can be used to process big endian UTF-16 list files as well, provided that they have a correct byte order mark. Previously it allowed only little endian file lists
