It is totally unnecessary to download a new client or use a relocalizer (unless you want different voices or text). Just create a file called regions.xml in your StarCraft II program files folder (where the Starcraft II.exe is) with the following contents.

Where do i locate the StarcraftII.exe and is it a text document i use to make the regions.xml?

Starcraft II.exe is generally something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II"

(If you are using 32 bit Windows, there will be no (x86).)


Make sure windows is set to display the full extension. Go to "Organize" (it's a button on the top left of the window inside folders) > Folder and search options > View > "Uncheck" "Hide extensions for known file type". Then right click, create a .txt file called "Regions.txt", then paste in what the person wrote, then click on the name of "Regions.txt" and change the name from Regions.txt to Regions.xml.

I've done the regions.xml file method, and I get the regions button to show up, and I can switch regions, but I am stuck in the starter edition of them. Previously I had tried to use the relocator thingy and it didn't work. I've uninstalled in since-- still all starter editions (cept for NA ofc). Ideas?

Go to "C:\Users\<User Name Here>\Documents\StarCraft II"

Then click "Variables.txt".

Look for
localeidassets=
localeiddata=

and make it:
localeidassets=enUS
localeiddata=enUS

(Not sure if it works but I think I remember this being the fix.)

This is great news!

No need to get different accounts for different regions.

So wait, if I'm understanding this right its patched in but just not available client side yet? Functionality is there but Blizzard isn't going to patch it in until the weekend?

I added the regions.xml file to C:/Program Files/SC2 but I didn't get any option to change servers when I relogged.

I use Simon's relocalizer. Too bad I already purchased licenses on 4 servers. xD
Starcraft is not a game, it is not a hobby, it is a way of life.

I actually made a python script that switches it for you long time ago because I found this really really annoying to do

it comes with a gui too (lol wxWidgets)

should probably code it to make it smarter (instead of spamming linereplacements, detect what it is, and switch it, but oh well)
only enGB+enUS+zhTW cause those are the only ones I have...

also it's where I saved the files so \o/

most updated one also has one for HoTS too...

I could update it if people actually WANT it, (to possibly be in the form that the general consumer can actually use)

=======

On another note, I want my money back D:

I also like to add that for the region button to appear, make sure to click the "Up Arrow" next to your account name on the SC2 login screen (this should make it so you have to enter the account name again).

The region button should appear on the mid left side once you click it.

(This only matters if you had the account name saved, otherwise it should appear already.)

Currently playing placement matches for TW/KR. I've noticed a lot of my opponents have thousands of games played yet they're still in bronze/silver league. Pretty interesting.
