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? | ||

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. | ||

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

Then you can go on battle.net, and click "download game", and download the english client from your chinese account key. I think. | ||

If you want to use the client, without modification, you may only use the languages available in your region. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

Use this tool to play the English client on Latin America servers: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=139082 | ||

I allrdy had a eu account and sc2 installed, how i am able to switch between those 2 servers and users? There are a few post about this but im having hard trouble understanding them 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. | ||
