Mod edit: Here is a workaround that reportedly works:
  • Disable your Internet temporarily (disconnect from your wireless, disable your connection in network connections, unplug LAN cable, etc)

  • Start SC2. Once the login screen appears, reconnect / re-enable your Internet and wait about 30 seconds.

  • Login to SC2.

Hey guys i saw some old threads about this happening to people from back in the beta and it was attributed to server maintenance.

My SC2 client just stops responding about 1/2 a second after the login screen pops up. I am able to play offline though if i turn off my connection, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue on my end.

Is anyone else getting this now too or do I need to reinstall. (had been working fine up till yesterday)

Server: NA (location Toronto, Canada)

Alright then definitely looks to be a battle.net related issue. Good to know nothing has gone wrong with our computers lol.

Sit tight folks hopefully it'll be up soon

haha I'm glad I came here after I just reinstalled SC2, now it's not working at the log in screen. At least I know it's not my computer.

Was there still a way to watch replays when this happened last time? I don't remember. I don't want to unplug my internet if I have to.

Also, this is an awful problem. Too many people think it's their computer breaking and not BNet. What a horrible idea Blizzard.
