[Starcraft II - Beta Launcher by Valkirie]

make the launcher smaller please its really annoying when its that big.

majority of users doesnt like the size.

zezariz skin is pretty good if you use it then its gonna be perfect.

Just a suggestion.

This launcher is the one I prefer to use, and I have used them ALL.


Quick few question though:


1:  Is it possible to have it auto know my map/replay/ai folders?  Because when I load it takes like ten seconds for it to find them on its own.


2: Any plans to implement an auto update feature?


3: Why on earth do you release this to the public?  the majority of the half wits and complaining about how they don't like the GUI, and how blah blah blah...  You would think they would just be thankful, or at least not rude about there gripes...


Cheers,
Brett

What resolution do you use?  looks perfect on my 1440x900 19in LCD monitor, it fits just off to the right and I still get to see all my desktop icons on the left.  You are aware of how to increase your resolution?

locked - until I clean this up.  If you have a question or comment about this program post in the Support or Suggestion areas under SC2 Tools. 
Valkyrie can use this thread still to make posts about announcement/new releases so keep an eye on here.

Some further info on the GUI bug that was reported earlier in this thread, it is indeed a DPI problem.
If I set the DPI to "Smaller" (see first pic), the launcher looks fine (see pic 2). If I set it to anything else, i.e. "Normal", the layout gets fucked up (see pic 3).

Also:
-The "Show FPS" option never works.
-The langauge selection does not work. I have two languages installed, i.e. having deDE.SC2Data and enGB.SC2Data files in the Mod subfolders where applicable. It doesn't matter what langauge I select in the launcher, I can only change it using the ingame option screen and restarting. Maybe the problem is that I can't select enGB in the launcher, only enUS, and these locales are handled individually.

Dear DarkBlizz,

I read your instructions related to intallling the game. For one reason or another I am unable to install my SC2 beta copy in its recommended directory due to limitation of space. And cannot really afford to make room for SC2.

I installed my game in a regular partition (D:\Starcraft II Beta). Whilst installing "SC2ALLin1_setup3x" I told it to install it there. However, the following error occurs whenever I try to run the launcher "SC2ALLin1" - Application Error - "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). ..."

Well, I am not expecting much of help since I didn't follow your initial insturctions, but thought it worths the try.

Dear DarkBlizz,

I just intalled everything as decribed in your short guide concerning the launcher tool. As a result my game and launcher are located C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\SC2ALLin1. Even though I installed the game as told I am still meeting with failure when I try to run the launcher. The error is the same as previous.

[Blower]

what version of vb.net? thanks for your response. and after vb.net what ?

Um.... wrong thread? This is the thread for Beta Launcher by Valkirie. Anyway, a simple google search of your error shows its more possible that you need to install the latest version of .net framework I think its 3.5. I hope this helps.

[dodongbadong]

Not yet apparently. I'm hoping soon though.

This error happens after I have choosen my maps and AI folder. I can see the every possible selection, but I get an error only when I try to click on a map. I've tried reinstalling and I've met the requirements that Valkirie specified in his thread.
