currently there is a big many people are experiencing after the latest patch where logging into battle.net you are unable to join or create any games and also locked out of the matchmaking feature completely.

i understand almost every thread of similar issues is locked and i see the green bar at the top. but im pretty sure this is a client bug. not a battle.net problem.

i was able to play fine at work
but came home and applied the patch and was not able to play on US/KR/EU.
deleting cache/forwarding ports/reinstalling completely
none of these worked

the solution that DID work for me was to download these 2 files
http://cid-cba93334cc054d0f.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/SC2 patches
NOTE : these are 2x files. one is about 6mb the other is a few kb

create a folder in your Starcraft II Beta directory called "Updates"
C:\Games\Starcraft II Beta\Updates\
for instance

then just run the game. if it worked, the client should delete the Updates folder and you should be now able to join/create games and use the matchmaking feature

well i was going to boot up the EU client which i did not run this process on to get a screenshot of the problem and it worked fine. so did the KR client.

im not sure how running these enUS files on an EU client would work however
it makes me wonder what the actual cause is. a registry setting somewhere is my first guess.

my best advice to you would be to look at that thread which provides the files needed to change your client to US/KR/EU. make a copy of your starcraft 2 beta folder and convert it to US and do this procedure. then try your original EU client

The problem to this error is actually ISP based.

Everybody in Australia that has this problem seems to be with the ISP Exetel.
