I tried some things and here is the solution for the problem:

1. Just unplug your cable
2. Start SC2.exe
3. The login-screen appears
4. Plug your cable in again
5. Wait like 30 seconds

-> You can join Battle.net as normal!

Yup. works!

Startup screen was locking up but if you unplug your cable after starting up sc2 it seems to work fine..... so its battle.net related. not my computer. woot!

They were likely logged in before the issue began. Either that or it's specific to a certain set of people.

There was a post last night from blizzard (one of those ones beside the login) that said the servers were getting restarted or something today. This is definitely the result of that.

So this is happening to everybody else, or just a few people? I really hope this is just B.net being down because that's what is says on the website...my sc2 was working fine 8 hours ago

Confirmed works, EU

yah, this works fine - you can also jsut disable the LAN Adapter (under network connections) for a second, load SC2, as soon as the login screen is there, alt-tab and re-enable (no need to wait) -> login works, no freezes

Fix:
1. Unplug Ethernet
2. Click Okay not play offline
3. Plug back in
4. Password / Login.


This is confirmed to work.


This is confirmed to not work.. for me. I think there's a reason Blizz wants EVERYONE to be offline. TL.net bot says every server is currently patching. Something important must be going on imo. Maybe it has to do with the interface, adding chat channels perhaps?


Confirmed for me.

Thanks, that works nicely for me, EU.

I got it working by;

1)Disable your network adapter
2)Load SC2
3)Enable your network adapter
4)Make sure as soon as you hit enable on your network adapter you try to get back into SC2 as soon as possible, if your network is enabled before you alt-tab(or click) into SC2, it will crash again.

EDIT: I realize I'm not the first to post this. Just posting this for the people that didn't seem to get it to work, step 4 was screwing me over because I didn't click back into SC2 soon enough.
