Why can't I test any maps or see my published files in the game client?

test files just goes to the default screen and states (Unable to launch game)

what the fuck?

Uh, they (Blizzard) have been out to get you for literally three years straight now. I don't know how you haven't picked up on this yet.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Everything is working fine for me, so the problem is somehow specific to you/your computer.

Do you mean that you cannot see your published files in the editor (File -> Managed Published -> log in)?

Does the game load your tested map when you log into sc2 with the game client?

Does it load your map when you have no e-mail entered in the log-in screen of the game? (It used to not work properly while I had a mail entered, but was not logged in for a while on my computer.)

Does your tested map use a mod dependency from battle.net or does this not work with a new created empty plain map?


Some things I would do to try to fix the issue:

Do you have "Test" folder in your install directory within the folder "Maps" or within the folder where you have placed your map in? If yes, try to delete it and test again. There are a couple of files created when you try to test it.

My last attempt would be to delete all files in the battle.net cache under "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache". You won't be able to delete all files, but delete all that you can. Then restart editor/sc2 and try again.

If that does not help, post your editor problem as detailed as you can in this forum of Blizzard.

Huh? I've picked up on this FACT a long time ago/

'"Do you mean that you cannot see your published files in the editor (File -> Managed Published -> log in)?"

No, the GAME client, not the editor.

"Does the game load your tested map when you log into sc2 with the game client?"

When I click Test, it takes me to the default screen (with Artanis ugly mug) and says "Unable to Launch game"

"If that does not help, post your editor problem as detailed as you can in this forum of Blizzard."

Can't post in their forums, got perma-banned for using bad words that will scar children forever or something.

Looks like you're out of luck then. Ahli's the only one who knows the SC2 editor here, and if you can't help, there's nothing you can do here. Probably shouldn't have thrown a hissy fit on the bnet forums and gotten yourself banned, lmao.

Best bet is to look through the Battle.net forums (on a proxy if you must) to see if anyone else has had this issue and resolved it.

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.

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:
