i'd understand if you paid for the game and this happened and you were mad, but damn c'mon its in beta stage and its free. i don't know why you're so angry.

Lol I didn't pirate this game buddy. $65 pre-order got me a beta key. Not to mention I've seen and given better support for free games. I've also bought SC, BW, WC3, FT, WoW, and DII. Maybe after all the years of pumping my money into blizzard I want my shit to work right when they hand it to me?

there are 2 places you can run it from

SC2/sc2 campaign editor.exe

SC2/support/sc2editor.exe

Flexserve you are brilliant. Thank you for posting that.

This is what it really comes down to, numbers.

11.8 million WoW subscribers as of 2008, its 2 years later, maybe it stayed the same.

At the CHEAPEST, and this is giving blizzard a lot of fucking leg room, the monthly sub costs 12 usd.

$12 x 11.8 mill subs = $141.6 mill x 12 months =  $1.6992 Billion Fucking Dollars a YEAR.

And they have to fucking out source? WTF Blizzard don't be fucking greedy douche bags, we support your fucking games, how about supporting the customers. Or supporting your fucking country and creating jobs?

I'm planning to build a new computer and I'm pretty new at this so can anyone help me out by suggesting what parts to get inorder to run the game on Ultra smoothly. Thanks very much.

I can run Ultra and for most part get around 40 fps which is very much playable.

AMD Athlon x4 620 propus 2.6 (OC to 2.8 ) )

DDR 2 800mzh 4 GIGs(2GB dual pack) (OC smoother ticks(4-4-4-12))

ECS A780GM-M3

ATI Raedon 5750 1 GB DDR5

After getting the best deals on all the parts I would say it cost me around 6-700 to make it.

lol umad?

Dude this "umad" shit is fucking stupid, no im fucking peachy, are you retarded?

Yeah, they forgot to test the patch update on an actual consumer machine. Go to SC2/Support/SC2Switcher.exe this will launch the game with the new patch installed. But B.net is down. Pointless to try.

things like this are bound to happen beta

Beta for a beginning company on a program that no one has ever heard of. Not Beta SC2.

Fucking Blizzard... The day I get my Beta Key is the same day they decide to release this failed patch, since it gets stuck in an infinite loop and keeps trying to update the 1st patch... Wow, great job. Did they even test it before release? Obviously not since EVERYONE experienced this problem. Not only that, but once you can figure out how to maneuver around this fucking annoyance you get shafted with a Battle.net is down for maintenance message. Further investigation proves that this is for a reset of ranks and profiles. O rly? A reset takes 5-10 minutes, not 5-10 hours. OK, That's fine and everything I know things need to be looked into, especially after blizzard fails on a patch, but how about making a topic in their own forum about the problem and it being looked into, NOTHING.

And how about making a page or section or anything that shows the status of the Battle.net servers. Its like Blizzard has forgotten that they have been a video game company for how many years now? Shiny graphics but shitty support.

Infinite loop has been fixed. B.net Still down 9:00 pm Cent.

Hi im from Australia and it its offered here...is there a way to preorder online....and then they send the beta through email or something? ...like i put in fake US details? please help

They do send the beta key via e-mail, I have yet to get it however but only been 15-17 hours since I ordered. However you need to put in REAL info for the order to get processed, otherwise they wont complete the order, and the Key isn't sent until your account is charged.

I pre-ordered 4/19/08 got my key this morning only to login to battle.net and add it to find out that it had already been claimed FUCKING GAMESTOP

Ouch, looks like some gamestop employees are playing the old 5 finger discount card.

Thats time for you, shes a random bitch.

ok so if we had pre-ordered the game a while back will u get the key now because i have the game pre-ordered and completely paid off does that mean that i will get a key if i go to the store and ask for it

I'm not sure, if I was you I would call up GS and bitch about it, they will give in no doubt.

How long ago did you preorder online?  I preordered online 8 hours ago and still no key.  I think something might be wrong with my order.

30 minutes ago right now. If its been 8 hours I guess I can wait until tomorrow b4 the calls start going out.

I pre-ordered online. I know it says within 1 day, but I want to know what people who have ordered online have experienced.

Anyone know how long it takes to get the Beta Key once you pre-order?
