How to open C4G file?

An often recurring problem with Clonk Game System is that C4G is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open C4G, 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 C4G 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.

Programs to open C4G file

Remember to download programs supporting C4G files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Clonk with C4G files

If, despite the installed application, the C4G file does not start in the Clonk application, you must create a file association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the C4G file with the Clonk application.

Step 3. Update Clonk to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Clonk program, it is possible that Clonk Game System requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the RedWolf Design GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C4G file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The C4G file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C4G file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 C4G or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected C4G files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C4G file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C4G files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RedWolf Design GmbH
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C4G files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move C4G to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the C4G file again. However, some background programs may block the C4G file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
