This Blend file will not open in multiple versions of Blender, including 2.80, 2.83 and 2.92, nor can anything within the file be appended. The download page specifies that it is for Blender 2.80. I tried downloading the file again just in case it somehow got corrupted on my computer, but there was no change.

Was this file edited in Blender 3.0? Can anyone confirm this version is working?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to report.

Think v2.3 from https://studio.blender.org/characters/5f1ed640e9115ed35ea4b3fb/v2/ was saved with compression (this is why it wont open in 2.93 or below).

It does state though that

Due to some fixes and minor updates, the current version of the rig requires Blender 3.0.

But agree, that page also says

Blender Version: 2.80

@Mets : was this saved with compression intentionally?

Even if it were to open in 2.9, the rig now uses a new option on its Action constraints that's only available in 3.0. ("Before Original" mixing mode) so it won't behave as expected. So I updated the version info, it should now say 3.0 instead of 2.80. That was an oversight when updating the rig, so thanks for the report!
