Programs to open P4F file

Step 2. Create association of MU Online with P4F files

If, despite the installed application, the P4F file does not start in the MU Online application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MU Online application as the default for handling the P4F file.

Step 3. Update MU Online to the latest version

If, however, after binding MU Online with MU Online [P4F] Launcher System Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Webzen website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P4F 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 P4F file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to P4F files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 P4F or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P4F files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P4F file. 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 ability to automatically repair P4F file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Webzen, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file P4F 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the P4F file to another location will fix the problem.
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 P4F to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
