What are MasterGameList.xml Error Messages?


General MasterGameList.xml Runtime Errors

MasterGameList.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Razer Cortex, but can also occur while the program is running.

Download MasterGameList.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying MasterGameList.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Razer typically does not release Razer Cortex XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing MasterGameList.xml and all other XML files for Razer Cortex. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
