Hi everyone,
I got a retail version of the game this morning and, I'm interesting in installing starcraft II without to wait the 27.
To do that I try to bypass the date limitation, of course, blizzard does better than look at the system date.
80.239.186.40/static/mediakey/sc2-authenticationcode-frFR.txt is the first file, the installer looks at. (for the French version)(the IP is the IP of eu.battle.net)
I change my hosts file and modify the file, in fact, the date in the file only modify the printed date, so instead of telling me that i must wait the 27 to install the game, i can change this date as I want, so it's totaly useless.
Next the program try to find http://92.123.72.112/mediakey/sc2-authenticationcode-frFR.txt which results on a 404 Error (IP : dist.blizzard.com.edgesuite.net)
Using the same format as the eu.battle.net one, i create the file the program is looking at, but nothing changes.
So how does the installer check the date, if someone could help, it must be nice =]
Edit : It's dead : the second link will contain the key needed to activate the game, and won't be released before the 27th. if someone want to bruteforce or debug to maybe find something.
