What is SDZ file?
The file in the SDZ format belongs to the Game Files category. The author of this format is Spring. In addition to this file, the Game Files category includes 1509 related files. Spring Content Package is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the SDZ file. You can use WinZip in case Spring cannot be used.
How to open SDZ file?
The main problem with Spring Content Package is that the SDZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SDZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDZ 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 Spring
The first step is to check if the computer has the Spring program installed. This can be achieved by typing Spring into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SDZ files.
Programs to open SDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting SDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spring with SDZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SDZ file to open in the Spring application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SDZ file with the Spring application.
Step 3. Update Spring to the latest version
If, however, after binding Spring with Spring Content Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDZ 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 SDZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SDZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SDZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SDZ 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 SDZ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SDZ file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SDZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SDZ to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SDZ file again. However, some background programs may block the SDZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
