How to open DFK file?
An often recurring problem with Dark Flow Project Format is that DFK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DFK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DFK 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 Dark Flow
In this case, you should first verify that the Dark Flow application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Dark Flow 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 DFK with Dark Flow.

Programs to open DFK file
Remember to download programs supporting DFK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dark Flow with DFK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DFK file to open in the Dark Flow application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DFK file with the Dark Flow program.
Step 3. Update Dark Flow to the latest version
If, however, after binding Dark Flow with Dark Flow Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DFK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DFK 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DFK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DFK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DFK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DFK files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DFK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DFK file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
