The STSG file has been categorized as Game Files. The author of this format is SuperTux. Additionally, the Game Files category contains 1509 of other files. SuperTux Saved Game appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open STSG file?
The most common problem when using SuperTux Saved Game is that a specific STSG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that STSG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STSG 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 SuperTux
In this case, you should first verify that the SuperTux application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SuperTux into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open STSG files.
Programs to open STSG file
Remember to download programs supporting STSG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SuperTux with STSG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STSG file to open in the SuperTux application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SuperTux application as the default for handling the STSG file.
Step 3. Update SuperTux to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SuperTux program with the SuperTux Saved Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STSG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the STSG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STSG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STSG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the STSG files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 STSG files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STSG 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. It is best to move STSG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the STSG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the STSG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
