The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SL23 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.

Programs to open SL23 file

Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL23 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SL23 file still does not use the HLSW Game Server Tool 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 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SL23 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 Game Server Tool file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Stripf Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL23 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SL23 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SL23 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SL23 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SL23 file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SL23 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Stripf Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SL23 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SL23 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SL23 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
