File description

PCK file format is short form of Package and are used as archive format for computer game data. This file format is used to store game data which can be related to the 3D model of an object, its rendering, textures, sounds, game data and character information.

You need Archive opening software to open such files.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .PCK file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .PCK extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .PCK file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .PCK file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .PCK file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .PCK file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .PCK file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .PCK file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .PCK file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .PCK file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
