How to open ARCHIVE file?
An often recurring problem with Unreal Tournament Localization Data Format is that ARCHIVE is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ARCHIVE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARCHIVE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Unreal Tournament
The first step is to check if the computer has the Unreal Tournament program installed. To do this, enter the name Unreal Tournament into the system search engine.

Programs to open ARCHIVE file
Remember to download programs supporting ARCHIVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unreal Tournament with ARCHIVE files
If, despite the installed application, the ARCHIVE file does not start in the Unreal Tournament application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ARCHIVE file with the Unreal Tournament program.
Step 3. Update Unreal Tournament to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Unreal Tournament program, it is possible that Unreal Tournament Localization Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Epic Games, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARCHIVE 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 ARCHIVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ARCHIVE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 ARCHIVE file. However, remember that not every infected ARCHIVE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ARCHIVE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ability to automatically repair ARCHIVE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ARCHIVE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ARCHIVE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ARCHIVE file again. However, some background programs may block the ARCHIVE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
