How to open SQH file?
The most common problem when using Harbinger Game is that a specific SQH is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SQH, 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 SQH 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 Dragon UnPACKer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dragon UnPACKer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dragon UnPACKer in it. 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 SQH files.
Programs to open SQH file
Remember to download programs supporting SQH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with SQH files
If, despite the installed application, the SQH file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SQH file with the Dragon UnPACKer program.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Dragon UnPACKer with Harbinger Game there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Alexandre Devilliers page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SQH file. 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 SQH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SQH 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 SQH 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SQH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DreamCatcher Interactive
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SQH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 SQH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SQH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SQH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SQH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
