How to open SL22 file?
The main problem with HLSW Format is that the SL22 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SL22, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SL22 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

Programs to open SL22 file
Remember to download programs supporting SL22 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 SL22 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SL22 file still does not use the HLSW Game Server Tool program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 SL22 file with the HLSW Game Server Tool program.
Step 3. Update HLSW Game Server Tool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HLSW Game Server Tool program with the HLSW Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Stripf Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL22 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SL22 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SL22 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SL22 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SL22 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 SL22 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL22 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SL22 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SL22 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SL22 file again. However, some background programs may block the SL22 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
