At first, i didnt get the region button too - try clicking "change account" and then click outside the box so that nothing blinks in the box. The region button should pop up after a few seconds then.

why is it patching the game ? I am using the regions.xml version.

Edit: it was stuck on 0% and it autoclosed after some time.
Edit2: does it matter that i have starcraft2 in italian ?
Edit3: disregard everything I said, I am too ashamed to tell what i had done.

This just in battle.net updated their site to now allow name changes globally

It also seems they blundered at the top saying you can play it now

The game accounts page has merged all my accounts in to one. Previously, this list included SEA, NA and TW.

"Sc2 Installation folder"? Maybe there's one I don't know about? I put it in there and ran it but it said that it wasn't the installation folder. Can someone be more clear?

Wherever the starcraft II.exe is located. On my setup it's D:\SC2. Not in the My Documents folder.

Anyone knows if they implemented some sort of region switcher? I'd love to uninstall my two redundant SC2 clients & only keep one and free up my HDD a bit... <,<

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.

<regions>
<region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_SG_REGION" hostname="sg"
allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enSG"/>
<region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_US_REGION" hostname="us"
allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enUS"/>
<region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_EU_REGION" hostname="eu"
allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enGB"/>
<region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_KR_REGION" hostname="kr"
allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="koKR"/>
</regions>

This will cause the Region button which SEA has had for the longest time to appear (it fades in after a while), but the strings for AUTHENTICATION_EU_REGION and AUTHENTICATION_KR_REGION were only added in 1.5.4.

The regions.xml technic works just fine.

Now I wanted to go SEA to see if 2.0.4 was already online on SEA but now when I start SC2 it gets me back to the launcher screen no possibility to get the region back to anything else. Any clue anyone ?

I'm having the same problem as Anatase, I just finished downloading it though and my client will crash anyways right after the raynor load screen.

No opportunity to switch back to another server

Same here, EU. I've been playing on NA for the past few weeks (regions.xml method) if this makes a difference (as in it has automatically selected Americas as the server for login since that what I played last). Repair install doesn't work, tried it twice.

Guess u have to wait till EU gets patched. Usually this happens when the client realizes it has a lower verson than the server, then it ends itself and launches the game launcher to get the patch but since u have an EU client (with EU game launcher), there is no patch available at this time.

The continuous launcher -> client loads -> immediately back to launcher loop happens because the launcher takes the patch information from whatever your home region is while the game client will dump you back to the launcher if the region it tries to log in to has a newer patch.

You can change the last region used in the registry in HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\S2\LastPortal-???? (whatever your home locale is), or you can load the game with your Internet disconnected so it can't read the patch information then change back to a region which has not yet received the patch yet.
