How to open DHM file?

The main problem with Shadowgrounds Mission Data Format is that the DHM file is incorrectly associated with programs.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DHM 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 Shadowgrounds

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DHM.

Programs to open DHM file

Remember to download programs supporting DHM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Shadowgrounds with DHM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DHM file to open in the Shadowgrounds application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DHM file with the Shadowgrounds application.

Step 3. Update Shadowgrounds to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Shadowgrounds program with the Shadowgrounds Mission Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FozenByte Inc. page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The DHM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DHM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DHM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DHM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DHM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DHM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DHM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DHM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DHM 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
