I am having a lot of difficulty with the sc2 Beta. It seems that if i close it in certain ways it cannot be reopened sucessfully without a full uninstall and reboot.
I've tried letting the game restart itself in order to change graphics settings, Closing the game with alt-f4 (brings up a menu asking if you want to quit). I've also just killed the SC2.exe process.
The only way I have closed the game and been able to restart it is using the "Exit Starcraft II" that shows up at the end of games.
What happens when it breaks is the following. I start the SC 2 beta and it starts a black screen, an hour glass is the mouse icon. It never gets to the loading splash it just hangs there and task manager cannot end the "task", so the only way to get out of it is to kill the process.
I am wondering if anyone else has had these difficulties or has any advice for me.

Actually the same thing happened to me kinda, it crashed while browsing replays and now it wont restart. Just a black screen, the Sc2 cursor and nothing happens. I can't even kill the process with the task manager though, so I have to turn the computer's power off.
|
I dont even get the cursor, try uninstalling, deleting all the folders in my documents, program files, and in the "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Blizzard Entertainment" location, hidden folders is needed.
Then reboot before reinstalling lol. Thats how i fix it when i break it .
Edit: That doesnt fix it this time. I am frustrated that this is broken

I've experienced the same problem, it doesn't always entirely close properly or something. Not really sure when it happens though,
|
How do you make the game runnable again?

I have the same problem. I don't know if it has anything to do with how I quit the game. I don't have an account and only use the beta to watch replays but 4/5 times I start SC2 I only get a black screen and have to terminate the process. 1/10 times I get a SC2 loading screen but the loading meter just jumps back and forth and eventually the process kills its self or just never finishes loading. 1/10 times the replay is loaded correctly and once the game is started I have had no other problems. A bit annoying to have to restart the game 10 times to watch a replay though :/

This is something you should post in the blizzard forums so they can fix this lol. That's what beta is for :p

Found a possible fix, It felt to me like the freezing was the program trying to get somewhere it couldnt.
1.Find the .exe manually: "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta"
2. Right click run as: On windows XP, Right click run as choose current user (I assume you are admin of your personal computer) and decheck the "protect my computer data from unauthorized"
This fixed it for me.
I sent them an email, also tried calling their number, it feels hard to get in touch with them. They don't even seem to have a support forum just for SC2
