Razorwing -615. :D I wonder if the number means something.

My guess is its a form of ID. It stops random people from spamming you without knowing your number (or at least stops people from adding you as a friend without asking you first), and it allows you to keep your identity secret in a way that your friends can ID you by knowing your ID number.

Try this:

- Log into your Battle.net account.

- Go: Account > Settings > Communication Preferences

- Switch your language to match the play region.

Yeah, thanks man! I tried everything, synced all language/regional settings - still no luck. Fortunately, the guest pass worked and I was able to play for a few hours last night :)

USE EMAILS, much easier, much better. Come on anaron!

So, got home, installed booted it at 10:30. Just took a break, got to mission 2, beat it(playing on Hard difficult, feel so rusty) and only took first try, so im good so far, i hope lol. Got scared when raynor was by himself against the hq and the peoples helped me.

Anyway, ITS ****ING EPIC. After the mission me and a buddy 2v2. GOD I LOVE THIS GAME.

Officially lost my life to it. Till reach that is :)

Nice, I bought the digital version earlier today, I've been playing the campaign.

I haven't played multiplayer yet but my name/code/region is:

Argote - 105 - North America

I bought the digital version specifically because I didn't want to be in the Latin America region which is what's available in retail stores here in Mexico (yes, it's cheaper but it only lasts 6 months...) and I wanted to get the game in English, the voice acting is just so much better.

So far I'm fairly disgusted with blizzard, I received my copy on Monday and it's been failing to update since then. The install from the DVD goes fine. Then the internet patches come along and either the updater does not work (as with the first patch) and I have to start again or the blizzard downloader sits at 0% with zero peers (tracker not responding). I emailed blizzard and the response was reinstall and/or delete the torrent files and try again if that didn't work.

This has done absolutely nothing, so I've had the game three days and the total played time is 0:00.

I've attempted to control if I can use peer to peer or not, but it isn't actually accessible on OSX via the launcher.. which is retarded. I found a way to do it using the old starcraft anthology downloader I had, but it made no difference. All that does is create about 15 background "blizzard downloader" threads that do nothing.

So if anyone knows where to get the files from the blizzard torrents:

sc2-15405-16117-Uni-OSX-enUS-game

sc2-15405-16117-x86-Win-enUS-campaign

sc2-15405-16117-x86-Win-enUS-locale

Feel free to drop me a line, because blizzard sure as hell aren't helping.

Something I'm finding quite odd is that in the campaign, some of the stuff you get is not in the multiplayer part of the game. I was hoping that playing through the campaign I would learn enough to be able to dive into some matches but it seems kind of pointless to do it that way. I guess I'll have to play vs the Ai to really start to learn build orders and macro and what not to get the basics down.

Blizzard talked about it a while ago about how they wanted to add a bunch of throwback units from SC1 that didn't make it into SC2 and having them in the campaign is a good balance.

I don't have the retail copy yet, because I'm out of town, but I seem to remember during the beta there was some option to direct download patches. It was slow as hell, but I think there was an options somewhere. I don't know if that option still exists.

Yeah, I used to take the campaign route to learn about the units and the buildings, but this time, I didn't want to wait 30 hours playing the campaign to learn about the latest units and the abilities :)

The first time I loaded the game, I went straight to a 3v3 match vs a computer with two bots of different races on my side to take a peek on what they are doing as well :)

Hmm it is possible that the Blizzard servers were getting hammered.. maybe that's why the tracker was not responding. Maybe you should try it again today? I think most of the traffic should be gone? It's a day after the release.. soo it's possible.

try this site instructions and link is in the 2nd post. checked they are the us patch files.

I wasnt expecting much from this game as im not into MP and the graphics in the beta didnt impress me (nor did the Terran storyline in the original SC for the campaign). But wowzers is it good fun again :)

Loving some of the lil elements they have added to the campaign, mission choices (or the illusion there of choice, still good :) ) and the tech tree choices are quite interesting. The hub after missions is nice too. Overall just some lil things+some polish on the graphics it seems and im really enjoying the campaign havent stopped since I got home from work. The plot is turning out pretty awesome too.

Cheers for the link, I ended up getting it sorted out. It definitely wasn't the servers, I had issues with the programs themselves not working properly. In the end I had to resort to using a torrent client and limiting the number of connections down. Turns out the blizzard downloader was spawning multiple copies of itself over and over in the background and they were all fighting for access to the file.

I'm finally getting to enjoy the game though, so I don't care :D I'm only about 8 missions down at the moment, but I'm enjoying it immensely.

Awesome! Don't forget to send Anaron an IM for your Bnet Code.

I guess so... that would be the point of the guest account, wouldn't it?

I guess, but still, wanted to know if anyone has more info. :) I don't like two SC2 accounts sitting in my Battle.Net account, just like with WoW. Thanks for the reply! :)

Anyone has a spare guest pass for sharing? :heart:

Off-topic: Can you remove a WoW account from your Battle.Net account?

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
