The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CBMAP 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 SCP - Containment Breach

Programs to open CBMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting CBMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SCP - Containment Breach with CBMAP files
If, despite the installed application, the CBMAP file does not start in the SCP - Containment Breach application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SCP - Containment Breach application as the default for handling the CBMAP file.
Step 3. Update SCP - Containment Breach to the latest version
If, however, after binding SCP - Containment Breach with Containment Breach Map Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SCP Foundation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CBMAP 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 CBMAP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CBMAP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CBMAP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CBMAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CBMAP file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CBMAP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CBMAP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CBMAP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CBMAP 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 CBMAP file again. However, some background programs may block the CBMAP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
