Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL31 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SL31 file to open in the HLSW Game Server Tool application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL31 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SL31 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SL31 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SL31 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SL31 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 SL31 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 ability to automatically repair SL31 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SL31 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SL31 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SL31 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SL31 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
