How to open C4I file?

An often recurring problem with Clonk Object Format is that C4I is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open C4I, 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 C4I 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Clonk is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Clonk into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C4I with Clonk.

Step 2. Create association of Clonk with C4I files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C4I file to open in the Clonk application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the C4I 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The fault may also lie with the Clonk program, it is possible that Clonk Object Format requires a newer version of the program.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 C4I file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the C4I file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C4I file. Sometimes virus-infected C4I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C4I file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C4I file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted C4I 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 C4I file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
