What is a .ERL file?
The file extension .ERL represents an Erlang Source Code File. However, in the context of gaming, it specifically refers to a file generated by a program called GameGuard. GameGuard is a software designed to enhance the performance of your computer system when playing games on Windows. Each time GameGuard is run, it creates an .ERL file. This file can contain various types of information such as how well the system performed during gaming, any errors that occurred, and details about any viruses it detected.
These .ERL files are usually stored in a folder named "GameGuard" which is located within the directory where the game is installed. If you encounter problems with GameGuard or the games it is protecting, you might need to send these .ERL files to GameGuard's support team for troubleshooting.
To open an .ERL file, you can use the GameGuard program itself, as it automatically generates and manages these files. There isn't typically a need to open these files with other programs, but if needed, any text editor that supports plain text could technically be used to view the contents of an .ERL file. However, modifying these files is not recommended unless specifically instructed by GameGuard support.
