Authenticating Starcraft 2: WoL

[tarachi]

I can play offline without net, last night my connection was out when I got home. So the same screen appeared (no connection or b.net is down) . I just accepted it then I went to the main screen. I even picked to log in as guest.

That's strange.

edit: Some questions:

1. Did you play as guest before the disconnect, or logging off?
2. How long did you stay as guest with internet connection?
3. Do you happen to have an AV? I'm guessing this might be preventing something, but don't want to do the whole uninstall AV, install again after.

1. Did you play as guest before the disconnect, or logging off?
I played as guest even without the internet connection to begin. Thou I have already logged in the night before I have no Internet connection.
2. How long did you stay as guest with internet connection?
I played almost 2-3 hours. I first played the campaign then some skirmish vs A.I.
3. Do you happen to have an AV? I'm guessing this might be preventing something, but don't want to do the whole uninstall AV, install again after.
I have an AV but SC2 is already set as part of the Ignore list.

This is really strange.

My guess:

Because I had used an enUS client as guest before uninstall and installing sc2 sea.

Yeah, probably your PC was authenticated for a enUS client not for a SEA one.

I think that's a good guess. Could you play with the SEA version? Offline mode was available after playing online at least once?

Edit: Good news, I has offline mode.

What happened was that before migraine struck hard to make my day a living hell, I used CC cleaner. Tried SC2, same orange box appears. So, shut down computer is a definite, "Yes!"

Now, some hours later, after booting up, my ISP decided to go kaput again. So, tried the editor. It worked. Tried SC2 offline, it worked!

I have no idea if which of these were the causes of the fix:

1. Santa Clause decided it wasn't funny anymore, and fixed while I was dreaming of fire and being in a cavern.
2. My account needed some time off.
3. Registry conflicts or the likes of the previous installation caused the problem.

It would be nice to know what exactly led up to this issue, so we'd know how to avoid such a thing, and find a solution when it happens.

found a fix for this. you have to log on to both a bnet account and start a campaign game, and a guest account and start a campaign game, while connected to the net. once you've done both of these you can use your bnet account in offline mode or a guest account in offline mode, if you don't do both neither will work.

[GnaReffotsirk]

Okay, after running the repair tool, it said I have the enUS, which I don't, and that some files don't exist.

It's very likely this is causing the problem.

Edit: Apparently the above is not the problem, neither does the above fix the problem. I'm getting worried and utterly dismayed at this since I might spend a some hours away from this desk later.

I can't believe this is happening to me, when I'm one to need it most.
