why would you need to just run the sc2 launcher, it's impossible to login...try deleting the Battle.net.MPQ file from the battle.net folder

Well im downloading the rep-launchier, but while i wait, id just like it to behave normally in case itl mess up with the rep-launcher too.

The mpq is already moved and renamed, by the way.

And how to i get to patch 17/18? Just found up to 16 in the links here.

I was able to launch a game with the rep manager, but im still unable to view reps for some reason... When pressing the start replay button in the manager it simply shows some popups and then nothing happens...

Edit: With patches up to 16 im now able to play a v.13 rep at least...

Edit2: Ok all works now, up to reps at patch 16 at least. Too bad artios' pack is at 17...

OMFG AWESOME

I've spent about 2 days of my life reinstalling and manual patching, and once i finally figured out that I was missing the 12.1 patch, i patched up to 16, but I was still getting "Internal Battle.net Error" everytime i tried to launch from sc2allin.. Deleting Battlenet.mpq makes it work. finally... i can play against greentea now!

Beta/Updates? Did you make that folder yourself? The patch files go in "StarCraft II Beta\Support"
Make sure you follow step 2:

Yeah that was my reaction after the countless hours of reinstalling/patching

No it's simply because the update servers are offline.

I'm sorry my post was unclear. I realize update servers are offline. What I was wondering about was if there is a point of manually patching in anticipation of phase 2 to make things quicker when it's released(I have a fresh install atm). I heard patches will be deleted and replaced by a big one when phase 2 start, is this right?

I was able to patch all the patches on the link (up to 16). But now when i start the game i only see the spaceship flying, and there are no buttons or fields to enter my login information. Any tips on how to solve this?

I use windows firewall, but have allowed it to go through on the popup, and also manually in the FW software...

Apparently this has not been an issue for many people except some mac-dudes, and they solved it by rebooting (which ive tried, and i have a pc).

Gonna try with a disabled firewall now, and if that dont work, update gfx drivers.

All this happens when running sc2.exe, if i drop a rep on the .exe it stops on a black screen with only the sc mousepointer, nothing more...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


I am having the exact same problem?
Anyone else experiencing this/fix this yet?

Now I'm not telling you guys what you should and should not do, but I think there's no doubt phase 2 will be up very soon so I wouldn't bother too much with patching the phase 1 beta :-)

I'm in a somewhat awkward position. I deleted some of the BaseXXXXX folders to save on HD space so obviously I can't watch replays from those specific patches. I was wondering though, if it would be possible to patch in / add in the specific data for those patches to allow me to play the reps. Is there a technique using the sc2patches.net files, or am I going to have to try and track down copies of the actual BaseXXXXX folders?

I wrote a batch file for doing this.

Save that Into notepad and save the file as patcher.bat, then drag the patches in order onto the batch file. Make sure the patches and the bat file are in the support folder when doing the process. [/QUOTE]

Thanks for the idea... here's what I did:

[quote]
@echo off
for %%f in (sc2-*) do (
echo %%f
ren %%f sc2-patch.mpq
"Blizzard Updater"
del sc2-patch.mpq
)
[/quote]

Extract all patches in support folder, and run the batch file. It will loop though all patches :D

Edit: Sorry, don't know how to make the "[quote]"'s work :/

Are there any manual patch files you guys are aware of?


It's only the US servers that are down.

The EU patch servers are up; follow the threads for creating/editing your realmlist.stf file (in this forum). It works from any patch level (or from unpatched)...still, beware the MOAP (it's a nine hundred megabyte patch file).
Bad news, fellas

Does patching backwards work?
I'm wondering because when I updated to the latest patch I can't do anything with SCallin1 or the map editor anymore since it requires me to register and beta is offline so it doesn't work
