How to open S2QH file?
The main problem with StarCraft 2 Localization Header Format is that the S2QH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open S2QH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S2QH 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 TextEdit
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TextEdit is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TextEdit into the operating system search engine. 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 S2QH.
Programs to open S2QH file
Remember to download programs supporting S2QH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextEdit with S2QH files
If, despite the installed application, the S2QH file does not start in the TextEdit application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 S2QH file with the TextEdit program.
Step 3. Update TextEdit to the latest version
If, however, after binding TextEdit with StarCraft 2 Localization Header Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2QH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The S2QH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the S2QH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 S2QH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected S2QH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of S2QH 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S2QH 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 S2QH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the S2QH file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the S2QH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the S2QH file again. However, some background programs may block the S2QH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
