Blizzard is allowing the full client to be downloaded before release!

Perhaps this is the check against the key to test if its real?

If Vernam really cracked the game he posted the crack.But he is not going to give his crack to other guys that means that there is no crack.Maybe the picture was even done with PhotoShop.Or leaked from a guy who really cracked the game.

I can't get to the installer part, I can't get to   the authorization part. Must. Keep. Trying.

1.  Open Installer UI 1.MPQ with your favorite MPQ editor.

2.  Locate NotReleased.xml, found within InstallCD\Global\Unpack

3.  Replace the text with

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <overlay page="InstallerInfo.xml" />

</page>


4.  Save and close it all.

5.  There you go, you're where everyone has proven to have made it.  By the way, installers and pretty much everything else in the Installer UI 1.MPQ appear in your temp folders, just like every other freaking Blizzard installer.

You can access this as well, if you replace the text in NotReleased.xml with

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <overlay page="InstallerReplaced.xml" />

</page>

There is no new installer download right now.

A lot of this stuff was already in the original beta installer by the way.

Have any of you considered the possibility that the installer simply doesn't know how to read the .MPQE files, and that there will be a small update for the installer on release day that allows it to be read?  The most feasible thing is probably to figure out how to open the .MPQEs themselves, which would allow you to simply install because you would have the installer file list and accessible data files.

%s I think refers to enUS or enGB and %d I believe refers to sc2-authenticationcode

[bm-test]

Well, I supose that you need to hack Installer to allow any key. I'll try to mess with exe tomorrow using decomplier/debugger. Wish me luck

:anono: http://us.version. refers to localization and there should be an version number too

Can't someone change the code, so that it doesn't wait for 07-27, but an earlier date?

Just trying to help...

The code isn't waiting for a date, it's waiting for an authentication code that will be at http://eu.battle.net/static/mediakey/sc2-authenticationcode-enGB.txt
If it doesn't get the authentication code, it displays the MSG found at the address.

The Code is used to decrypt the files we downloaded.  So unless we find how to unencrypt them, we will be waiting until they release the authentication code.

yea , i don't think that somebody could decrypt the files without the keys from blizzard , at least not until game launches

[Doomer3001]

Well, I already preorderd it, but I just want to play it as soon as possible

You don't seem to get it. The Auth key will be required just to allow the game install and therefor will be public. The game key(that you will receive within your game's box) has nothing to do with it.

most of us will buy this game... but nothing it's better like a homemade SC2 cracked version

i know the difference between the auth key that will install the game and the cd key that will activate the game , i was meaning that to decrypt the mpq files you need  the auth key that will be delivered by blizzard on 27 and the installer will make use of it automaticaly or put in manualy by the user
