You can watch replays without the hack.

so i successfully downloaded the client, but i still cannot find starcraftbeta.exe and can only see the launcher when trying to open a replay? Can anyone explain where this file is located?

Additionally, when I tried to download and add Cache, I could not find (while using Windows 7) any folder for AppData or LocalSettings after reaching my UserName through C:

So does this work with the new patch or not? Reports appear to be mixed...

[Skyze]

It can work I think.. theres a file called "SC2Switcher.exe" which changes you to the old patch, so open the replay with that file and it should work.

[Iceman_jkh]

Works fine with both new patches.
Just load up the SC2 replay as per normal and the correct SC2 build will be used (switched to) depending on which replay you load.

Hmmm.... Well I'm almost tempted to DL it. So is it essentially the full game, just you don't have a beta key to access the majority of the features?

[SpikeVorador]

nah, to me it ask me to log in in order to watch the replays even with the sc2switcher


buuu i want to showcast in spanish G_G xD

[flabortast]

cache of for the patched version so you can watch replays, c:\Users\Username\AppData\BlizzardEntertainment\Ba ttle.net\

I imagine (though I haven't checked yet) that if you use the solution which allows you to "play as guest" in the beta client, then you can watch replays with no problems even with the new patches.

Operatoring provided a link to this solution a few pages back, I believe.

i cant get it to work either, need to log in, even after replacing the cache.. hopefully were just doing soemthing wrong. has anyone without beta gotten reps to work when patched?

Where can I download SC2 beta?
