"First, you need the patch files. You'll likely need to grab them from a mirror. See the above post for a list. Now for the tedious part! Make sure you do each patch in order. For each file in each patch, do the following: 1) Move/copy the file to the Support folder in your install folder. 2) Rename it to sc2-patch.MPQ 3) Run Blizzard Updater.exe 4) Delete sc2-patch.MPQ. It shouldn't matter what order you execute these files within each patch version. It's VERY important, however, that each patch is done in order and that you don't miss a file in a patch. If you don't know what you're doing, make a post in the forum about your issue. We'll try fixing it some other way. " I did this and it did patch my game, but I'm still unable to load any custom games. I think it's a problem with sc2 on my end though, because it was happening before I reinstalled the beta. Basically when I start sc2, a little box with the logo appears on my screen. At this point the game usually crashes. If it makes it any farther it'll crash once sc2 is loading up a map. The progress bar won't advance at all. | ||

The new patch that will be released upon phase two will wipe all other patches if i remember correctly so this reason alone is something you should overlook. I also have the same problem with the small box appearing and just standing there on the middle of the screen for several minutes before it crashes, kind of wierd as this was never a problem before I uninstalled it :\ If you find a solution to this, please post it here  | ||

Might i ask where you downloaded the game files, ie the installer? Just from the battlenet page? Because this doesn't work for me | ||

There is a second method, however since the EU Server is down I dun know if it works. U can pre-download all the patch and unzip them into the update folder in the main Starcraft II Beta directory and replace the realmlist.stf (US Version) file in the support folder with the EU version of that file and normal launching the game should patch the files without having to download it. But this method requires the EU patching server to be up | ||

I tried this method once and I guessed I miss one file or something and my game could not load When you extract the zip file I get 4 files, I assume its the "sc2-0.2.0.13891-0.3.0.14093-x86-Win-enUS-game" that your rename "sc2-patch.mpq"? | ||

Yep u have to rename each file to sc2-patch.mpq, one at a time, and use the updater for each file Missing one is not an option | ||
