How to open S2 file?
The main problem with Stranded II Map is that the S2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open S2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S2 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 Stranded II
The first step is to check if the computer has the Stranded II program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Stranded II in it. 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 S2.
Programs to open S2 file
Remember to download programs supporting S2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Stranded II with S2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S2 file to open in the Stranded II application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the S2 file with the Stranded II program.
Step 3. Update Stranded II to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Stranded II program, it is possible that Stranded II Map requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Unreal Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the S2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected S2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S2 file. 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 ability to automatically repair S2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Unreal Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file S2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move S2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
