How to open ATLAS file?
The main problem with Stronghold 3 Editor is that the ATLAS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ATLAS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ATLAS 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 Stronghold 3
The first step is to check if the computer has the Stronghold 3 program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Stronghold 3 in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ATLAS files.
Programs to open ATLAS file
Remember to download programs supporting ATLAS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Stronghold 3 with ATLAS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ATLAS file to open in the Stronghold 3 application, but you can set it manually. 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 ATLAS file with the Stronghold 3 program.
Step 3. Update Stronghold 3 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Stronghold 3 with Stronghold 3 Editor there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Firefly Studios Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATLAS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ATLAS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ATLAS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ATLAS file. However, remember that not every infected ATLAS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ATLAS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ATLAS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Firefly Studios Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATLAS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ATLAS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ATLAS file again. 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.
