Starcraft 2 Beta


Recommended Posts

Launch the game normally and it should complete the patching process. I can confirm that patch 9 installs properly and Battle.net is back up. :)

You're right, it's working as it should now. Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: Nevermind, doesn't want to log me in. It prompts me to create a new character, and just keeps repeating that process as if I never did it before. I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow to play again.

Wow. There's a bug that allows Zerg players to accumulate larvae by cancelling it right before a [insert Zerg unit] egg hatches. This means Zerg players can get as many as 6 larvae (or more) with a spawning pool for a mega zergling rush. So much for patch 9...

Here's a video:

Where's a good place to watch replays? I haven't played Starcraft much less an RTS in over a decade. Was playing against AI last night and only had a faint remembrance of what to do.

Is that what you are looking for?

After reinstalling the game, all my problems were fixed... it even recognized my graphics card, so all the settings were set to max. Right now I only have three problems:

1) Battle.Net shutting down for maintenance

2) I'd like to be able to zoom out a little more >_>

3) I'm horrible at SC2 and it would be nice if a guide was included

your in for a suprise. During a match the help

menu becomes a VERY NICE GUIDE. You can select your opposing race and see what units strong/weak against. Reminds me of my AOE days :).

went to eb today and preordered

after i cashed out i asked about the beta key

the girl said they ran out

/sign

still no key :cry:

no way they did. If your not in the us idk then but in the us Gamestop/eb games got a digital database that I was told has PLENTY OF KEYS. I know the number so believe me it hasn't been exhausted yet.

I'll drop you a key in your inbox tonight. 9-10pm cst(gmt -6).

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

ya i was pretty surprised to hear that they were sold out of keys. i was surprised.... then angry that i just pre-ordered the CE, paid in full, then got NO KEY

@Scirwode:

Any reason you can't reserve it? Be honest and I'll leave you alittle present among obi ;)

How can I reserve it, considering I'm in Malaysia :p ? Not to mention trying to get it to ship here is pointless as it will cost more than the game itself. The fact that pirated games are still freely available also makes getting original games hard though right now I'm using Steam to get my games, which brings me to another problem - slow internet connections. All I have at home is a 1MB connection though I am in the process of getting at least 5MB as it was recently launched in my area (finally!), but it will take some time for me to subscribe to it. Right now, downloading updates through Steam is painfully slow :pinch: .

Is that honest enough for you :p ?

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
