How to open S2M file?

Programs to open S2M file
Remember to download programs supporting S2M files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Stronghold 2 Heaven with S2M files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S2M file to open in the Stronghold 2 Heaven application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the S2M file with the Stronghold 2 Heaven application.
Step 3. Update Stronghold 2 Heaven to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Stronghold 2 Heaven program with the Stronghold 2 Map Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2M 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the S2M file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our S2M file. However, remember that not every infected S2M 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 S2M 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular S2M file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file S2M 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the S2M file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S2M file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
