How to open ORK file?
The main problem with Warhammer Mark Of Chaos Game Archive is that the ORK file is incorrectly associated with programs.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ORK 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 Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
The first step is to check if the computer has the Warhammer: Mark of Chaos program installed. This can be achieved by typing Warhammer: Mark of Chaos into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ORK files.
Programs to open ORK file
Remember to download programs supporting ORK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Warhammer: Mark of Chaos with ORK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ORK file still does not use the Warhammer: Mark of Chaos program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Warhammer: Mark of Chaos application as the default for handling the ORK file.
Step 3. Update Warhammer: Mark of Chaos to the latest version
If, however, after binding Warhammer: Mark of Chaos with Warhammer Mark Of Chaos Game Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ORK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ORK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ORK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ORK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ORK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ORK 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 ORK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Games Workshop Group PLC, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ORK 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 ORK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ORK 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 ORK to close. However, some background programs may block the ORK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
