Step 2. Create association of Stencyl with STENCYL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STENCYL file to open in the Stencyl application, but you can set it manually. 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.

Step 3. Update Stencyl to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Stencyl program, it is possible that Stencyl Game Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Stencyl page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to STENCYL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STENCYL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected STENCYL 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 STENCYL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair STENCYL file corruption. 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 STENCYL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the STENCYL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the STENCYL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
