How to open S2MI file?
An often recurring problem with Starcraft 2 Cache is that S2MI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that S2MI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S2MI 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the StarCraft II program installed. To do this, enter the name StarCraft II into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support S2MI files.
Programs to open S2MI file
Remember to download programs supporting S2MI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StarCraft II with S2MI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S2MI file to open in the StarCraft II application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 StarCraft II application as the default for handling the S2MI file.
Step 3. Update StarCraft II to the latest version
If, despite the association of the StarCraft II program with the Starcraft 2 Cache 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 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2MI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to S2MI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 S2MI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected S2MI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the S2MI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular S2MI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file S2MI 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move S2MI 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the S2MI file again. However, some background programs may block the S2MI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
