The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GOX 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.

Programs to open GOX file
Remember to download programs supporting GOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Games Factory with GOX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GOX file to open in the Games Factory 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GOX file with the Games Factory application.
Step 3. Update Games Factory to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Games Factory program with the The Games Factory Extension file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ClickTeam page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GOX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GOX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GOX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GOX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GOX files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GOX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ClickTeam
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GOX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GOX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 GOX to close. 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.
