Well this stinks. I finally get a beta key yesterday. It takes 18 hours to download, install, and patch. I set my alarm extra, extra early because I have an 8:00 chem class. Get to play two ladder qualifying matches before driving to school. Come home and this happens.

And people who have been playing for months are QQ'ing I've only played two games! raghghgh

If you live in the US and dont have a key it is now officially your own fault. Gamestop has them for 5 dollars, and if you end up not wanting SC2 just get your $5 back.

Holy shit people. OK. I am going to lay out the facts for EVERYONE HERE, since many of you demonstrate a severe deficiency in reading capabilities.

1. OMGZ DOWNLOAD??? Yes, the download took freaking forever. Just let it download. Stop asking questions.
2. WAHHH INFINITE LOOP??? Yes, we are all getting an error where after it is done downloading, the patcher seems to be stuck in a loop. Blizzard has responded here, telling us to hold tight.
3. DO I NEED TO REINSTALL??? No. This will not solve anything.
4. DO I HAZ PATCH??? You can tell if you have it by navigating to Starcraft II Beta > Versions > you should be looking for a folder called "Base15079." If it is there, then you have the patch. If it's not there, you don't have the patch. Simple as that.
5. MY GAME WORKS!!! Even IF you were to get the game started, it wouldn't matter because Blizzard took Battle.net offline to do some upgrades. Again, sit tight and just WAIT for their response.
6. I DIDN'T LISTEN TO BLIZZ SO I REINSTALLED AND IT DON'T WORK!!! In this case, I think the online download Blizz is offerring has the faulty patch included. They'll offer a fix soon for this.
7. I CAN SEEKRETLY LAUNCH THE GAME!!! Yes, if you have the patch downloaded (see #4) you can actually start SC2 by navigating to: Starcraft II Beta > Support > SC2Switcher.exe. This will weirdly launch the game, but will give you a bajillion errors saying that Battle.Net is down (which it is).

And yet, there are people who still don't even have beta keys and here you are complaining. I don't even know why I bother reading the Patch threads, the amount of complaining and whining is absolutely absurd.

Any chance you mean Base15097? Because I have that one, not 15079.

That wasn't the point of my post. The Starcraft 2 is a great, friendly community (for the most part) but a lot of shortsighted whining and crying really gets in the way of healthy discussion about the game.

Blizzard is aware of the patcher looping issue and is working on a fix for it. (http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=24401903745&pageNo=1&sid=5000#2)
