Understanding FPK Issues

Issues Opening FPK Files

Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3 Removed

You attempt to load your FPK file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The FPK File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3 for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your FPK, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Outdated Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3

In other instances, your Civilization 4 Data File file version may not be supported by your version of Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3. Installing the latest version of Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3 from Interscape is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Civilization 4 Data File file was created by a newer version of Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3 than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of FPK file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: Not having the right Take-Two Interactive Civilization 3 version on your computer can cause problems opening FPK files.
