EPTYou will need to create a PTR account to play online.
I feel very stupid asking this, but how do I get such an account?

Unfortunately, I can't even connect to B.Net. I seem to be getting the "Connecting..." window indefinitely. Anyone else encounter that problem or know how to fix it? Could it be a port problem? I encountered these with Blizzard games before. | ||

They recommend completely re-downloading the new client. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20753916555 | ||

Actually, I'm also having trouble switching the language. The first time I ran the installer, it gave me options for different languages. I can't seem to get that to pop up again despite deleting folders and re-downloading the installer. | ||

Here are some references that can help you at least get the game running. Unfortunately it seems that multiplayer doesn't work... https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42741 https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20753707329 I haven't had time to test this myself unfortunately, but hopefully it helps. I really hope that we will be able to play multiplayer on the new version, it's going to be extremely sad if we all miss out. | ||

I'm sure something will be worked out, if overwatch can run on wine then I'm sure the old starcraft can as well. Wouldn't that be silly if that was the ONLY game that didn't work? | ||

I had options too once. The default option is French (the language of my windows). I thought it's just the language of installation. So I didn't choose "English". But after that, these options could not be found. I tried also delete the folder and retried. But I still don't have the languages options. Thanks. | ||
