Step 2. Create association of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin with ARCH01 files

If, despite the installed application, the ARCH01 file does not start in the F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin application, you must create a file association.

The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARCH01 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ARCH01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ARCH01 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ARCH01 file. Sometimes virus-infected ARCH01 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ARCH01 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ARCH01 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ARCH01 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ARCH01 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ARCH01 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ARCH01 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ARCH01 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
