Hi,

I had this problem on beta days before, and I had it again this evening.
The game freezes at startup on the login screen.

Solution:

Disconnect your network cable
Launch Starcraft 2
Reconnect the cable
Login

I hope it helps!

Thanks. This happens to me without fail (but, you know, with fail) in 1.13. Your fix worked.

For some reason, the screen stays frozen for me when I try to do this. Well, no SC2 for me today.

I get the same as him. Can't work around it. Glad it worked for others, though. I tried rebooting too and everything basically.

same here, fix doens't work and bnet website is down. EU and I'm on a Mac. if I turn off my ethernet card it works in offline mode, so it's clearly crashing trying to connect.

This morning when I started the game the game re-installed patch 1.0.3 did this happen to others too?

Worked like a charm here. Seems the news site is down or something and it causes the login screen to hang.
Its a skin condition!

Ah it does work (Europe). Just plug the cable back in while starcraft is still running. did that part wrong, now it works.

However, if I restart Starcraft while the connection is available the game crashes.
So.. I'm not going to play online now. Chances are you just get dropped and no points for your wins..

Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou! My guess is Blizz are probably having a bit of trouble, and the client crashes when it tries to connect to the server giving the news bulletin thingy at the login screen.
