How to open C4V file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C4V 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Clonk in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file C4V.
Programs to open C4V file
Remember to download programs supporting C4V files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clonk with C4V files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C4V file still does not use the Clonk program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 C4V file with the Clonk application.
Step 3. Update Clonk to the latest version
If, however, after binding Clonk with Clonk Game Video there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RedWolf Design GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C4V file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C4V 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C4V file. Sometimes virus-infected C4V files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C4V 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C4V 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 C4V 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. Copying the C4V file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the C4V file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C4V to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C4V file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
