The C4K file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the C4K files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the C4K file on each system platform.
What is C4K file?
The file with the extension C4K is the Game Files file type. It was designed by RedWolf Design. In addition to this file, the Game Files category includes 1509 related files. Clonk Key Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. Clonk Endeavor will apply when it is not possible to use Clonk Rage.
How to open C4K file?
An often recurring problem with Clonk Key Format is that C4K is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file C4K to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C4K 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 Rage
The first step is to check if the computer has the Clonk Rage program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Clonk Rage in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C4K with Clonk Rage. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open C4K files.
Programs to open C4K file
Remember to download programs supporting C4K files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clonk Rage with C4K files
If, despite the installed application, the C4K file does not start in the Clonk Rage application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 C4K file with the Clonk Rage application.
Step 3. Update Clonk Rage to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Clonk Rage program with the Clonk Key Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C4K file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The C4K file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to C4K files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C4K file. Sometimes virus-infected C4K files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the C4K files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C4K files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C4K files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move C4K to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C4K to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C4K file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
