hi folks,

for some reason whenever i launch sc2 it keeps freezing during the loading screen. i dont mean the ever so lovely face of jim raynor staring at you with his handsome eyes but the screen that comes afterwards, the planet and space, soon after which your account name and password login should follow. now i havent made any changes to settings whatsoever or made any other amendments to my laptop or windows....

as a matter of fact i played a couple of games tonight quite perfectly but then took a short break and tried to get back on 20 mins later. now however all i get is this blasted frozen loading screen and whenever i ctrl-alt-del it shows up in the task-manager as having crashed. is this a well known problem? does anybody have a solution to that?

all help is appreciated!!

I've just got this too, along with a friend. It's similar to a problem I had a while ago, where the fix was loading it up with no internet then reconnecting to the internet and logging in, but my sc2 just crashed when I tried that.

EDIT: Nvm, the fix works for me now. Try it. :p

Same problem here. Bnet site is down for maintenance as well it seems though, so I can't help but think it's related, though I'm surprised to not see any more complaints yet. Good week at the Blizzard networking center. Again.
Change to MY nostalgia? UNACCEPTABLE! Monkey paaaw!

ok this is exactly the issue im having! as for the remedy, same goes for my pc. i can logon offline but as soon as i try to go back online and log in it crashes right after i press the login button....what the hell is going on? and why do other people have the same problem as i do? i think earlier this evening the launcher connected to the patch server briefly, you know not like a full blown patch but more like a little maintenance that took about 4 seconds during which you can see the sign launcher connecting to patch-server....coudl this be where my problems stem from? should i reinstall the game?

*edit*

oh thanks a lot you guys for the speedy responses, at least i know im not alone with this problem, i guess it will get fixed tonight or tomorrow. well no more sc2 for me tonight. maybe i should go to sleep instead :-)

I and my buddy have the same problem. The fix as described by Goshawk works for me, but not for my buddy (for whatever reason).

I'm hoping they fix this quickly.

The SC2 client has a bug when it fetches the sidebar news etc. via HTTP. If it receives an unexpected response (or no response at all, at the moment those servers are down), it freezes. This bug has been there since forever.
