I'm trying to get into Starcraft II. Directly after I login, before I can get to character creation, I receive this: "You need an authorized language pack from Blizzard entertainment to use this language." I can't seem to find anyway around it. What can I do? EDIT: I've just resolved this, turns out my computer thought it was August for some reason. | ||

localeidassets=enGB localeiddata=enGB to your local language, i'm from Europe playing on NA didn't work so instead of enUS like it is supposed to be, i put enGB wich is the europe english version, and i was able to log in, it has something to do with the clock i believe. | ||

It seems to work by changing it to ensg and then make your variables file read only so it can't be changed when SC starts up. Very odd - but working now :D | ||

This helped me, then after a couple of days I got the same problem when I tried to log into NA again. Did the same thing again and got it fixed. Just make sure to not have starcraft turned on while changing the variable and you should have no problems  | ||

I wrote a vb to edit the line, just make a bat to run it and the game shortcut each time (2 vbs, one for each language, two bats pointing to each).

----------------------------- If you experience an issue in StarCraft II where your interface language has changed, or if you are receiving an error that says “an authorized language pack is required” after the 1.5.0 patch, it is likely that your original language settings were overwritten during the patch process. We are aware of this issue and are working on a resolution at this time. Follow the workaround below to return your game client’s language settings to their original defaults. Locate the Variables File First, you must locate the variables.txt file on your system. Follow the steps below for your operating system. Windows Vista/7 Click Start. Click Documents and open the StarCraft II folder. Open variables.txt. Windows XP Click Start. Click My Documents and open the StarCraft II folder. Open variables.txt. Mac OS X Open Finder. Hold down the Option (Alt) key and select Library from the Go menu. Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft II. Open variables.txt. This file contains the configuration for your StarCraft II client’s language and several other settings. Change the Language Setting In the variables.txt file, the following lines control your game client’s language: localeidassets=enGB localeiddata=enGB Changing the information following the equals sign will change the language setting in-game. Be sure to save the file after any changes are made. Available languages are listed on the table below. Note: Ensure that your language setting matches your game license’s language. If you have two game licenses on your Battle.net account, you will need to switch the language setting in this file each time you want to swap to a different license. Regional Language The Americas American English - enUS Latin American Spanish - esMX Brazilian Portuguese - ptBR Europe German - deDE European English - enGB European Spanish - esES French - frFR Italian - itIT Polish - plPL Portuguese - ptPT Russian - ruRU Korea Korean - koKR Taiwan Traditional Chinese - zhTW Southeast Asia & Australia/New Zealand Southeast Asia English - enSG -------------------------- Hope this helps!

Things I have tried: Changing Variables.txt settings, changing launcher.db file setting, using the Relocaliser program, deleting cache, deleting Documents/Starcraft II folder, deleting Programdata/StarCraft II folder, running the support programs in Starcraft II/Support, deleting registry settings. The only thing I haven't done yet that I can think of is to do a clean reinstall, which I really don't want to do as I have a limited amount of Internet data per month (2 gig). Are there any other people having the same problem? Any suggestions? | ||
