I have been playing sc2 beta since Friday without any problems until yesterday. Since then the program starts normally. After 15sec it crashes and pops out a window of Error Report to send to blizzard. I have sent many times this report but I haven t had an answer. During these 15sec I can login and go to ladder or whatever I want and then it crashes, even if I havent done anything. I have tried reinstalling the beta, updated the drivers of my video card (nvidia 9800 GT) updated the drivers of my network card and started the windows without the startup applications. I also tried the windowed mode and the low resolution settings as well as adding the frame ratio cap in the variables.txt.The problem still exists. My GPU temperature is 40oC before and reaches to 49oC max during the 15sec. Is there something else I can try? Has anyone else had the same problem?

P.S. I tried posting this to bnet forums but it says that my account cannot post on any thread. I have also sent emails to the support mail address of blizzard but havent had an answer yet.

This is more frustrating than when I didnt have a beta key at all.

edit corrected the seconds - sorry for the title - ''is the symbol of seconds in greece and I thought it is international.

Well, it seems you are doomed to wait till they eventually anwser you.
And god damn it i'm sorry for you.

PS: it's not ironic, i wish that if i had a key I had no problems of this type.

Are you trying to post on the European or US beta forums? Because with a european account, you can only post on the EU ones (US is the default).

Try deleting the Battle.net folder from here (Some of the folders are hidden):
C:\Users\**UserName**\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment

You should def submit crashes to the Bug report forums btw.

If your screen ever hangs, that's an issue with the logitech webcam driver and needs to be removed.

'' is perfectly acceptable for seconds, if only a little nonstandard (the SI symbol is "s"). There is nothing international about inches.

That folder is where Battle.net maps and other battle.net related info gets stored. The more maps you play on and the more Battle.net 'things' you do, the larger the file will get.

The crash line has "Internal battle.net error" in it (The only part that made any sense to me) so I figured it was some how related to this cache.
