How to open LXT file?

An often recurring problem with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is that LXT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LXT 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 LXT 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 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

In this case, you should first verify that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name S.T.A.L.K.E.R. into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LXT files.

Step 2. Create association of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with LXT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LXT file still does not use the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. application as the default for handling the LXT file.

Step 3. Update S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to the latest version

If, despite the association of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. program with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LXT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The LXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LXT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LXT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LXT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LXT files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LXT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LXT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LXT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LXT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LXT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
