The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S2MH 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 StarCraft II

Programs to open S2MH file
Remember to download programs supporting S2MH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StarCraft II with S2MH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the S2MH file still does not use the StarCraft II program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the S2MH file with the StarCraft II program.
Step 3. Update StarCraft II to the latest version
If, despite the association of the StarCraft II program with the StarCraft 2 Map Header Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2MH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The S2MH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the S2MH file. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S2MH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S2MH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of S2MH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 S2MH files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Blizzard Entertainment
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file S2MH 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the S2MH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S2MH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
