kc, there's no full client to be downloaded la, no pre-loading for retail copy. the pre-load is for digital copy bought from http://beta-sea.battle.net/sc2/en/. and you can pre-load it then activate with ur retail copy cdkey as i remember someone did mention.

LOL'd. This is the very first time I encounter a limited edition strategy guide.

And the portable map stand really gives me facepalm. How lazy can 1 get to require a portable map stand?

is like give u the advantage 1st, and fail later cause using the "advantageous" habit too much.

You can pre-load it without even paying it....that's the reason i'm asking here.

Really no point for them to crack, are those ppl only want to enjoy single player? Ppl that like to play multiplayer must buy original. I feel that those crack will just help blizzard to sell more as after ppl try single player, those that want to play multiplayer will go to buy an original one.

ZOMG big thanks to you! but sadly i'm in office, not allowed to download

Cant wait to get SC2!
But, i gotta get a new pc to play it well T_T

actually, there are people who would only want to play single player for the story.

the standard ladder multiplayer may be too competitive for many players out there.

In the midlle of my digital pre order i got this error....there is a problem with the authenticated system please go to www.blizzard.com bla bla to download....how can that be since i used battle.net and the links that u all gave me???

Hmm... are you able to provide a much more elaborate description? Although I'm not gonna download it as I've got myself a retail copy, perhaps it's something we beta testers have experienced before.

Ok here is my elaboration. I have been having trouble downloading pre order starcraft2 files (stopped at the middle of download) from the battle.net account management site. I got this message: There is a problem authenticating your download. I read on other forums that the solution is to start the blizzard application file as administrator by rightclicking the file and selecting the run as administrator. This did however not solve anything as I was already logged in on my computer as administrator.

FYI i try to download the US version since it will be much cheaper compared to SEA.
Using windows 7 64bit.

You copy-paste almost the whole thing from http://sclegacy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4184.

A few things you can try (not in any particular order):
1. Clear cache (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net).
2. Turn of UAC (User Account Control).
3. Turn of Windows Firewall.
3. Turn of Windows Defender.

That are all I managed to recall. Hope they'll help.

there's much more to sc2 multiplayer than just the ladder...
the custom games as well as the UMS are to me among the best reason to get it...

resurgence tower defense is just so fun wit frens...
and 2 hrs nexus wars is just OMG epic...

Same for me, I solved it via the kotaku link to Bnet, you redownload the P2P exe again and it will resume with where you left off.

Hoho yup since the problem is the same as mine. Will try to do the necessary

There, OFFICIALLY RELEASED and UNVEILED:

about the full client 1.... is for digital copy, not for retail copy, i pre-ordered mine. so even if i downloaded it, even if the client allow me to activate retail boxed copy, it doesnt serve the purpose, cause i sitll need to get the boxed copy withe the code to activate. =_=
