The link https://battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?version=PTR&gameProgram=STARCRAFT just redirects me to https://eu.battle.net/account/download where i can only download the normal starcraft broodwar client. Any help ?

edit: editing the link to https://battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=win&locale=enGB&version=PTR&gameProgram=STARCRAFT worked for me.

That is really weird.

Can someone please help me? I have installed the German version of 1.18 by accident and then uninstalled it to get the English version. However there is no more option to select the language. Is there some files i still need to delete? I tried searching anything starcraft related on my harddrive but still when i use the .exe i will get the German version.

How to get the English one? t_t

I apologize for my English. The combination of commands via the SHIFT + button does not work. Please let us know in support of Blizzard.

I am still unable to play online. How do I go about checking if my router is blocking the ptr for some super odd reason? I have allowed it through windows firewall and disabled all third party firewalls. Never had a problem with any other game and I can normally host just fine on iccup.

"The selected network provider could not be initialized"

I ran ccleaner and removed all my starcraft related registry entries and reinstalled yet i get the same issue.

Anyone know if they intend to implement matchmaking/a ladder on the battle net servers once this goes live, or what?

I tried this solution and it worked, assuming you know how to edit registry keys

They want to implement matchmaking into classic BW around when the Remaster releases

This is silly advice but did you clean the dust from your laptop already?

Damn they are going fast now. I'm guessing the "Fixed an issue with 3+ spawn point maps" means that you can host 1v1 on 3/4 player maps without it always being the same spawns.

When I try and open the game I get an error box that reads "Unable to initialize OpenGL. Please Verify that your video card drivers are up to date.". The problem is that my drivers ARE up to date. I have literally no idea what to do, anybody have any ideas?

I have the exact same issue, integrated GPU, it's very basic as far as I know but it runs 1.16 fine.
