Starcraft 2 - General

I want to build a computer, will it run SC2?
See this thread or this one. Don't make a thread about it unless you have a very good reason to do so. The official Blizzard announcement about this can be found here
Can I install Starcraft 2 on multiple computers?
Yes, but you will still only have one battle.net account meaning only one can be playing online at any given moment.
Argh! I keep dropping in game? What's going on?
Some people who upgraded their game from a trial version have been plagued by constant disconnects once they upgraded to the full version. So far as we know, Blizzard do not have a fix for this just yet. It's also possible this might be related to whether you have the Beta still installed or not (so try uninstalling that if you have it). If you did not upgrade your game from a trial version, then we don't know why you are dropping - post on the blizzard forums or ask here nicely.
I can't uninstall the Beta... help?
See this thread. The jist of it is, it's annoying and you're going to have to do it manually.

Will my GFX Card run SC2?
See this thread (and don't make a thread about it).
Starcraft 2 is causing my GFX card to overheat, help!
See this thread and the guide written by R1CH linked within that.
Help! I have red squiggle lines running down my monitor
Users with a 8800GT graphics card have been able to solve this problem by setting frameratecap=60 in variables.txt in your document (See this thread). This may work for other graphics cards if you are having this issue, but so far the 8800GT is the only one that has been acting up in this manner.

Battle.net

How can I switch servers?
At the moment the game is region locked so they only way to switch servers is to buy and install multiple copies of the game. The installation part is particularly annoying. Girlscoutcookie is currently working on an easier way, and you can follow his progress in this thread.
How can I change the language on my client?
Follow the instructions in this post.
What languages are available to each region?
North America: English (US) [enUS]
Latin America: Spanish (Mexico) [esMX], Portuguese (Brazil) [ptBR]
EU: English (UK) [enGB], German [deDE], Spanish (Spain) [esES], French [frFR], Italian [itIT], Polish [plPL], Russian [ruRU]
Korea: Korean [koKR]
Taiwan: Traditional Chinese [zhTW]
China: Simplified Chinese [zhCN]

How does matchmaking/divisions work?
No one really knows exactly how they work, but we have a few good ideas. This thread explains what we know about the matchmaking system. And this thread is a fairly comprehensive discussion about how divisions work (with some mention of matchmaking as well).
Once B.net logs into Facebook, how do I get it to sign out?
menu > options > battle.net > logout of facebook. That should do the trick!
I just installed the game and I can't log in - It tells me I don't own a copy of StarCraft 2?
This problem can be fixed 90% of the time by simply changing your Battle.net account password - bizarre, but it works. If this fails, make a thread about it.
How can I view a global ranking?
You can't. Chances are, though, that very shortly some websites will be able to provide you with a global ranking. If one comes about it will be posted here. In the mean time, you can get an idea for who the top players are by using the method explained in this thread.
