My main pc is down for repairs, so I brought out my old pc. I loaded SC2 on it from my original game CDs and entered my battle.net account name.

And somehow, it came out as this starter edition. How did this happen? I paid for the full version, not some starter BS! My main pc isn't the starter version, installed from the same disc!

My friend edited some parameters in Starter Edition code, and after that he got this.

Also, here are link to download video with confirmation . Scroll down for more mirrors. Music at background is from Emperor: Battle for Dune (mediaplayer at background, music is not from game )

He said, that it's possible to replace starting objects with any, like 6 or more of any units, any building, etc

Why TvT only? Read post above

How about a way to play all the races (including random) in a free version.
SC2 free - A dream came true.

Velario (my friend) said me, how to do it:

+ Show Spoiler +
Existor (20:04:46 6/08/2011)
can you say me, what to do? I'll copypast to forum

Velario (20:43:23 6/08/2011)
okay, but I haven't tested it with player. Works well vs AI

Velario (20:49:51 6/08/2011)
First open something http://i.imgur.com/OxVvD.png

Existor (21:02:09 6/08/2011)
and what to open?

Velario (21:08:52 6/08/2011)
Then edit somewhere inside. Use search function also.
< StartingUnitArray Unit="CommandCenter" /> replace it with Hatchery
< StartingUnitArray Count="6" Unit="SCV" > replace with Drone
<...> //some code here, don't edit it
< /StartingUnitArray >
Here you must put another starting unit - Overlord. Scroll document untill end and you will find Overlord unit. Copypast full tag and place after Drones.

Syntax is easy, so you can do anything.

Existor (21:16:25 6/08/2011)
thank you!

2Edit: you know
2Edit2: yeah, google helps a lot
2Edit3: try that vs AI? Try to give your opponent same file?
2average: maybe they fixed that after I've reported with this thing to blizzard. Well, you can see video in some of earlier posts in this topic, where it demonstrates 6bcruisers and zerg race instead terran. If they fixed that, so Blizzard aren't lazy with fixing things, like this

Works VS AI.
I'm looking over here maybe I can find what file disables your ability to choose other races. Who knows what I can find :D

Well, Velario said me, what to do to play as protoss/zerg vs AI (same race). But I havent asked him more, because I already have full game and dont need unlocks in starter edition.

For you and basically everyone who is using starter editions:

Go to custom games (join), and search for Xel Naga or Shattered Temple, choose the (faster) version.

You will basically be able to vs (as Terran) a random range of bronze-master level players who like to custom instead of ladder (I was just messing about as I usually do on customs and it works normally, it's all open to public NOT invite only). If you love Terran...you literally could play starter edition forever with decent levels opponents as long as Shattered/Xel Naga don't lose popularity.
the farm ends here

I just don't understand why they don't make a free version that includes only custom games with all 3 races. Include a mappack with 1 or 2 of each map for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. Honestly I think that this is a smart business strategy because the reason that they're making this demo in the first place is for existing players to recommend the game to their friends. The existing player base is not going to recommend this demo version to friends because they can't PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS.
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....

Starter Edition would be great for promoting Blizzards DOTA if they allow people to play it like Starjewel :X

OK I'd been playing at my bf's house (no money to buy game, lol, and we weren't sure if my puter would run it decently) so I've downloaded the starter edition to test it. I couldn't log in cos it wanted a cd key. Talked to Blizzard help people, and they said I need a guest pass key OR I need to call the accounts dept who will give me access. Accounts department is in the US, so I have to call at some odd hour to catch them when they're open...

Does this seem crazy to anyone else?

Why don't they allow the starter edition to be playable without a key? Or give you a key whn you download it? Or set it up so your battle.net account automatically registers that you've downloaded it?

ALSO... you can access the full version through the starter edition. My bf logged in to see if it was working properly, after I couldn't get in, and he can access the whole game.
for science... you monster
