Today the game needed to be patched and I received this notification afterwards.

Der Blizzard Updater konnte nicht gestartet werden.
Diese Aktualisierung benötigt die Version "Deutsch" der Software. Die aktuell installierte Version ist "Englisch (EU)".

It says, that I'd need to use the English version instead of the German one, once I want to start the game.

Does anyone else experience the same issue?


I hope they don't disallow using the English version.

+ Show Spoiler +
Simply, go to your Starcraft Installation in My Files (normaly its called Starcraft II)

and open the file Variables.txt in Notepad



Find the entries

localeidasset=

localeiddata=

and set em to your localisation

North America: English (US) [enUS]

Latin America: Spanish (Mexico) [esMX], Portuguese (Brazil) [ptBR]

EU: English (UK) [enGB], German [deDE], Spanish (Spain) [esES], French [frFR], Italian [itIT], Polish [plPL], Russian [ruRU]

Korea: Korean [koKR]

Taiwan: Traditional Chinese [zhTW]

China: Simplified Chinese [zhCN]

SouthEastAsia: English (US) [enUS] {enSG}





Save the file and run Starcraft II - do the update.

It should work now.



Tnx again to microguru

Edit your Variables.txt
You'll see:
localeidassets=
localeiddata=

So change this to have your SC2 language:
localeidassets=enGB
localeiddata=enGB


EDIT: oops, didn't see your spoiler ^^'

Because the game looks for your OS language by default, not the game language. I don't know why they did that, seems stupid.

Patch caused a download of the Public Test Realm gateway so that the proposed changes for 1.2 could be tested for functionality by the community.

If it did download the PTR then you need to make sure you are trying to run the original starcraft 2 game and not the patched test version. Blizzard said that the PTR was being released just to people with a NA account, meaning english only for the PTR.

Also Blizzard technical support was pretty fast in german Blizzard forums. They told us that they already know and are working on it.
