Hmm so if im going to be spending the next year in china (but can't quite speak yet) I should buy a Chinese key, but download an english client?

anyone notice how english client doesn't allow you to type in chinese? Iv tried to type characters in game, and they come up fine, but when I hit enter they never appear on screen. However it does allow me to chat with people using their chat boxes (in 中文).

Can someone give me a definitive answer on which version would be best to buy, and how it will function?

I am in Guangdong right now, I really think it will lag if you play a game on a server outside China.

Luckily I am usually in HK....

I guess I will buy the Taiwan server version and hope that the language can be changed to English asap.
Dont be too humble, you are not that great.

The definitive answer is this:

If you can wait a few days to play, check back a few days after launch, when we've figured out exactly how everything actually works together, and we can give you a firm answer then. Otherwise, the best anyone but Blizzard can do is offer you speculation.

Also, Not being able to type in Chinese must be a configuration problem with your operating system. I do it all the time with no problem, on my mac and Windows 2008 Server R2. I can check XP support if that's what you're using.

So in all likelihoods, you should probably buy the Chinese version.

You know, I have a feeling this is why Blues never talk about anything. Shits probably pretty confusing when you're working in a game development company 4900 employees strong.

Okay wait. So I can play in English on the Chinese client?


No, I think the way it works is buying the chinese version gives you a chinese account key. Then you can go on battle.net, and click "download game", and download the english client from your chinese account key.

I think.

This is not correct. If you want to use the client, without modification, you may only use the languages available in your region.

Fuck! I just bought the collectors edition in the US but I will go back to Germany in about a week. Does all that mean I can't play on EU servers with my US key? I thought it would be just like in beta.
Man, why is Blizzard doing this to us? T_T

It all depends how you register your key on battle.net. If you registered it for the eu-server, you can download an eu-client (either english/german/polish etc.), and log on to the eu-server. If you registered it for the NA-server on your battle.net account, you can only play with this key with a NA-client.

Edit:
I believe the keys are not region-restricted, but don't quote me on that.

Well every time I try to add SC2 to my EU Account it will say "You are creating a SC2 Account blah blah ... Region: North America (NA)"
It seams like the key is region-restricted T_T

Oh and now Battle.net seams down or something. Can't get to the add game page anymore at all.

Damn!

I've bought online license of SC2 with Latin American region so I am able to play in local servers.
The problem is it seems I can only play using client in Portugues or Spanish!!!
Trying to access it using english client pops an error message "You need an authorized language pack to use this language".
This is terrible because I can't play starcraft in a language other than english!! Translations are ridiculous (marine is translated as "soldier" in portuguese... zealot is "fanatic"... oh my god!!!)...

Does anybody know how to work around this?

Thanks!

The easiest, and best way to do this is just install SC2 twice on your computer in separate folders, for example C:\Program Files\Starcraft II US\ and C:\Program Files\Starcraft II EU\. There are some shared files in your My Documents folder that will be overwritten during the 2nd install. That's ok. They're not important or unique anyways.

If harddrive space is really limited, or you just really want to risk breaking the ToS, you can use my tool linked above, and just relocalize your client everytime you want to switch servers. I recommend against this though. If you can play without using my tool, I always recommend doing so.
