I got this error message:



How do I fix this? Yes, I downloaded the opt-in thing for the beta, I installed SCII Beta, I tried checking for updates and patches... I don't know what else to try...



None.

I order you to forgive yourself!

Any possibility that a firewall is blocking? Not sure if it could be related.

I'm not sure why a firewall would be blocking it, I haven't even attempted to go onto b.net with it yet.

But if that is it, I'm screwed, I have no idea how to adjust a firewall and probably can't since I'm on a college campus.

I got the exact same problem the second time I tried to install sc2. No firewalls are on, and the laptop is up to date. The only way I can think of this occurring in the first place is that my download kept stopping because of lost internet, firewall blocks at first, and I heard the PC Error noise at least twice, yet, nothing showed up.

Edit: After running sc2 again, and waiting for a newer patch to download, I was able to finally play sc2, and lose my first match.

None.

-In the drop down menu, Select "Internet Options"
-Select the "Connections" Tab

Hmm. The box was already unchecked.

Now what?

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
