How to open X13 file?
An often recurring problem with Hooligans Game Archive is that X13 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that X13 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the X13 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. To do this, enter the name Dragon UnPACKer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open X13 files.
Programs to open X13 file
Remember to download programs supporting X13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon UnPACKer with X13 files
If, despite the installed application, the X13 file does not start in the Dragon UnPACKer application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Dragon UnPACKer application as the default for handling the X13 file.
Step 3. Update Dragon UnPACKer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Dragon UnPACKer with Hooligans Game Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Alexandre Devilliers website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X13 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The X13 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to X13 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our X13 file. However, remember that not every infected X13 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 X13 file. 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 X13 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Darxabre help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted X13 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the X13 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the X13 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
