How to open CFR file?

The main problem with Cross Fire Replay Format is that the CFR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CFR 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 CFR 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 Cross Fire

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Cross Fire is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cross Fire in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CFR files.

Programs to open CFR file

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

Step 2. Create association of Cross Fire with CFR files

If, despite the installed application, the CFR file does not start in the Cross Fire application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CFR file with the Cross Fire application.

Step 3. Update Cross Fire to the latest version

If, however, after binding Cross Fire with Cross Fire Replay Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the G4BOX INC. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CFR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CFR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CFR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CFR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 CFR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Z8Games, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CFR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CFR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CFR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CFR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
