How to open MPK file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPK 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 MPK file
Remember to download programs supporting MPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Painkiller Overdose with MPK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MPK file still does not use the Painkiller Overdose program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MPK file with the Painkiller Overdose program.
Step 3. Update Painkiller Overdose to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Painkiller Overdose program, it is possible that Painkiller Overdose Game Map Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mindware Studios, s.r.o. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MPK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 MPK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MPK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MPK 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MPK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mindware Studios, s.r.o. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MPK 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. If possible, you can try to move the MPK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MPK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MPK 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.
