Works, but is super inconsistent. My KR acct doesn't work on US, can't log into KR with it because of "needs language pack", but my main acct works on EU just fine. Got the feeling this isn't really meant to be used yet!

Close SC2, re-open it. Type in a wrong password the first time you do it, get the error and then type in the real password. It worked for me.


Well, that did something, now it's giving me a different error message, but I can't read Korean so I don't know what it says :/

Cool! I get the "Region" button, but when I choose Korea and try to log on, I get this:

Error message says you're using the wrong language - do you have a TW account attached to that account? It's the message you get when you try to log on a KR client with a TW account.

What would be considered good ping? Can somone give a rough scale? From Very good to unplayable? My tracert to kr.battle.net gives pings from 100 -350 (which I think is pretty good considering I'm in Ireland - read, other side of the world). Is doing a tracert to the bnet site a fair equivalent of what the game servers would be like?

My ping to the US is pretty good, it times out after about 23 tries and gets alot of sub-100s (95ish). Only one goes over 200 (a lot of 170s). This is playable isn't it? Sub 150 is alright, sub-100 is decent (50s is good/very good). Would I be correct?

Again, I'm just looking for some input on a rough scale and if my numbers for my country might be good. Also, I'm assuming the first few "hops" with low ping are local ones (like the first onwe is 1, which is my network I'm guessing, and the next 2 are less than 15).

Thanks! I Time to tear up NA

TY! Yes, I have a TW account on the same battle.net account. What should I do?

Personally I feel like under 300ms is a fine place to be. My last few pings to KR/TW battle.net are around 250 and the lag is noticeable, but not so bad.

You pasted the text into notepad, right? I have tried doing this method, and I have unchecked remember account, but I'm not getting anything.

Make sure your saving it as regions.xml, and not regions.xml.txt (the default). You have to set notepad to all files.


Worked perfectly now thanks! I didn't set it to all files

Is there a way to fix this? I'm having this problem too. It works if I use the relocalizer (to TW) but the regions.xml doesnt work

Not a big deal since KR has 250 ping for me anyway.

When you go to "Save As..." in notepad, and you type in the name you want to save it as, there's a dropdown box below where you can select "All Files" and type a file extension after the name when you save (.xml in this case.)
