Battle net ladder it is totally down for me today and I met one person on the Shield Battery which had the same problem. Additionally for the last few days I couldnt log in and I encountered many errors while finding a match. I checked, for now there are only 4 korean streamers active.

Did you have any problems similar to mine? I have to say that I had these issues on two different computers and routers. Im wondering if the korean scene suffers from this too.

Blizzard we all love you

Yes. Just tested this, changed region from Europe to Americas and it works. This is usually a fix for many problems.

Try this as well:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/starcraft/t/download-settings-download-failed-menu-slowness/3730

"Update 2:

OK I think I finally found a valid workaround:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/Temp is where I missed. Deleting that entire folder fixed the problem for me. (I tried deleting just the blizzard browser cache, didn’t work). Now the download failed error is gone, menu slowness is gone and I finally can play ladder games."

This may explain why recently they are doing the online proleagues over VPN LAN or whatever it is instead of the regular battlenet lobby

they do it because a hacker was entering their lobbies with an anti ban hack. they got tired of it and movee to vpn lan.

There is a battle.net thread about this as well:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/starcraft/t/in-game-battlenet-server-laggy-and-issues/3867

Been having issues when selecting "Europe" in the b.net launcher. Works fine if I change that to America.

For me nothing works. Neither deleting temp directory from %LOCALAPPDATA% nor selecting a different gateway (region).

Btw: Don't forget that Blizzard was bought by Microsoft in 2023. So we should complain about Microsoft, not Blizzard even if they ofc kept the studios name.

You need to select different region ( Americas works for me) in BATTLE.NET application.
NOT in the game itself ( aka gateway).

Here are a few steps to try for Windows users:

*** Skip Battle.net Launcher***

1. Go to Battle.net settings and disable "Launch Battle.net when I start my computer". Close/exit Battle.net completely (not just to taskbar icon)

2. Open CMD prompt -> Type "services.msc" (no quotes) and press enter

3. Find the Battle.net Agent service -> Right-Click and choose "Properties"

4. Change Startup Type to Disabled.

5. Create a desktop shortcut to the StarCraft.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft\x86_64\

6. Right-click the shortcut and select "Properties"

7. Click the "Shortcut" tab in the dialog box that opened

8. Add "--launch" (no quotes) at the end of the text in the "Target" box:

Here is how it should look:
+ Show Spoiler [imgur] +

*** Clear Bnet Cache ***

Here is a CMD script that will clear the Bnet and DNS caches. You can save it to a .cmd file, or copy/paste it into the command prompt.
+ Show Spoiler [pasta] +

@echo off
del /F /S /Q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\blizzard_browser_cache"
del /F /S /Q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\BlizzardError"
del /F /S /Q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Blizzard"
del /F /S /Q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Battle.net\Cache"
del /F /S /Q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Blizzard Entertainment"
del /F /S /Q "%APPDATA%\Blizzard"
del /F /S /Q "%APPDATA%\Battle.net\Logs"
del /F /S /Q "%APPDATA%\Battle.net\Errors"
del /F /S /Q "%PROGRAMDATA%\Battle.net"
ipconfig /flushdns
exit


And from now on ONLY play StarCraft using the the desktop shortcut created earlier, never from Bnet Launcher

For those who are playing on Linux, literraly purge wine and reinstall everything. Then supress bnet launcher with x86/Starcraft.exe -launch

Yeah I'm getting this, not loading at all.

Setting region to Americas seems to work.

To everybody who still struggles with this and reads everywhere that you have to "change the region to america":

The sentence "change the region to america in the b.net launcher" is very unhelpful since its way to unprecise and missleading! This does NOT mean to click on your user account name in the top right corner of the b.net launcher. Then click log out. Then click on the small gear, select America, enter your password and log back in!

It means: Click on the Starcraft Icon in the b.net launcher. Then in the bottom left corner click on the globe symbol and select America THERE! Then launch Starcraft and you can even play on the europe gateway...

It does not matter to which region the b.net launcher itself is connected. It can still be connected to Europe. Only the region for Starcraft needs to be changed. Useless advise is useless.

Awesome, now I can't even log into the Bnet launcher at all \o/
Till yesterday, I merely could not load any profile on any gateway.
That's progress!

Edit:
Additional info: x86/StarCraft.exe is the 32bit version, x86_64/StarCraft.exe is the 64bit one!
Launching with "x86_64/StarCraft.exe -launch" + logging in within SC worked. I even got my profiles again?
Blizzard black magic.

Edit2: Linux/wine, didn't have to purge anything. Switched to Americas in the launcher, then used the aforementioned command, nothing else! YMMV with Blizzard magic though.
