1v1 often greyed out

Hey all,

I've been having this problem for a while now, I think even before Heart of the Swarm came out. Basically what happens is quite often when I log in the 1v1 tab in both the ranked and unranked games are greyed out. It defaults to 2v2 and I actually can't even click on the 1v1. The solution is quite simple - I just log out and back in - but it's quite annoying to do every single time.

Anybody else have this problem and or know what the solution is? Thanks.

Yeah, I also sometimes have the problem, and the solution is just what you posted, that's all that I've found that can fix it.

I think it happens to me if I click match finding or whatever it's called, way too fast. If I let it linger a bit on the menu, it never happens. Still pretty annoying.

Are you one of the guys that clicks on matchmaking the second you have finished logging in? That was the cause of the problem for me and as the guy above said you just need to wait before clicking matchmaking.


The best thing to do is go load the unit preloader in the arcade every time you start up starcraft. This will help your computer, and then when you're finished go to matchmaking.

Loading the unit preloader every time kills 2 birds with one stone really, and you should never have this issue again.

If you DO click on matchmaking too soon, it won't work until you restart starcraft and WAIT this time.

I sometimes have this issue also, but simply logging out and in again fixes the problem.

This hasn't been a problem for me for a while but ever since this new season started it seems the problem has returned. I find that just clicking between the ranked and unranked tabs seems to solve the problem, no login/out required.

I don't pay attention to how quickly I press matchmakin,g but I would say me clicking it fast is a very high possibility since I only login when I want to play.

You don't have to relog. This happens quite frequently to me as well. Just press f1 or f# to go to other sections of the game then f2 back. This usually works for me.

This is why it happens.

A good way to tell how long you should wait on the home menu is to wait until your profile picture gets its league border around it. Once you get that, it's safe to go to match-making.

I thought I was alone! Well I figured someone else must have been facing this annoying problem. Thought about creating a thread about it but I just didn't have the cahones to present my findings to the wider audience of Team Liquid experts. Anyway OP I just want to say-- I support you. You're not alone.

If I had to think back, I believe the problem started when they changed the order of the game tabs. It used to be 4v4 first, right?

Never happened to me :O sounds like something that happens when you are in a Party. :X Maybe sometimes the game doesnt recognize that you left a party or something?

I only play 1v1 and I never got the problem you described :O

Like was said before, it's so common of a bug that it isn't odd to hear people wondering why they can't 1v1 in General Chat three times an hour. It has nothing to do with 2v2 3v3 and 4v4 since myself and others only 1v1 and occasionally can't select that and it takes a relog to fix.

I have this grayed-out 1v1 problem too. It seems to happen to me when I click on matchmaking immediately after I log in (or press F2, the hotkey to go to Matchmaking). Re-logging in also works for me.

However, I have found a little work-around that works instead of having to re-log in. Try this: After you log in that initial time, just wait a few seconds before going to Matchmaking. This has worked for me.

do you guys get the problem where your units just start repeating the same thing over and over and over again for no reason?

Same thing, i think it happens when you go to matchmaking too quickly but idk. I only play 1v1 and have this problem quite often so its not related to not leaving a party

this happen to me quite a bit. however i don't log out and then back in - i just click on the training option then click back on the ranked option and that usually clears it up i.e. i can select the 1 v 1 option -- very rarely though this doesn't work and i have to log off
I thought I made a mistake once but I was wrong

if you are talking about sound issues where the unit seems to repeat its main saying over and over again. this has happened to me once - i remember that when it did i had had a weird series of clicking -- this is the only time it has happened. (i think i may of alt tabed out too can't remember for sure)

It happens when you log in and go directly to the multiplayer screen too quickly. If you wait 5-10 seconds after logging in, then go to the multiplayer screen, 1v1 will be available to play.

While this is a small hassle, I find it better than having to logout and log back in.

then click back on ranked

the 1 v 1 option is now click-able.

Crtl+S works a thousand times better, doesn't interrupt the game =D
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

It happens all the time for me. If you give it a few seconds, it will correctly load your rank and you can log in. Remembering to wait is annoying though

Switching regions and then switching back works, and is slightly faster than relogging on

Yeah this happens when you click through to Matchmaking before the game has fully initialised. Just gotta wait a few seconds. Very common issue for Australians. >_<

Easy fix though - you don't need to log out. Just select "VS AI" or any of the other 3 options at the top of the screen and back again. Works every time for me!

if you wait for your portrait/league border to load fully in lower left before you click matchmaking, you shouldn't have this problem anymore

It's a connectivity error. It means it can't find your profile on Battlenet.

I switch to KR and back again and its no problem.

I got this error a lot and the solution is to wait for your league to load. When you see the border surrounding your portrait in the top left you're good to go - that is to press F2.

This works for me every time.

This happened to me all the time.

Solution: just wait until your icon int he bottom-left loads both the avatar and league (border) before clicking the 'multiplayer' button.
