How to open C4B file?
An often recurring problem with Clonk Data Format is that C4B is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open C4B, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C4B 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 Clonk
In this case, you should first verify that the Clonk application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Clonk into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C4B with Clonk. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open C4B files.
Programs to open C4B file
Remember to download programs supporting C4B files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clonk with C4B files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C4B file to open in the Clonk application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 C4B file with the Clonk program.
Step 3. Update Clonk to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Clonk program, it is possible that Clonk Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RedWolf Design GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C4B 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 C4B file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C4B file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C4B or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C4B files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of C4B file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C4B file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted C4B 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move C4B to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the C4B file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
