How to open SL16 file?

The main problem with HLSW Game Server Tool is that the SL16 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SL16 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SL16 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 HLSW Game Server Tool

The first step is to check if the computer has the HLSW Game Server Tool program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name HLSW Game Server Tool in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SL16.

Programs to open SL16 file

Remember to download programs supporting SL16 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL16 files

If, despite the installed application, the SL16 file does not start in the HLSW Game Server Tool application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SL16 file with the HLSW Game Server Tool application.

Step 3. Update HLSW Game Server Tool to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HLSW Game Server Tool program, it is possible that HLSW Game Server Tool requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Stripf Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL16 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SL16 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SL16 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SL16 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SL16 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SL16 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stripf Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL16 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SL16 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SL16 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SL16 to close. However, some background programs may block the SL16 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
