you could probably google up some applications that monitors bandwidth usage. i know and am using an app for my android phone, but thats phone and not too familiar with pc since screamyx is unlimited bandwidth lawl.

thanks for the info... manage to find some website mentioning about bandwidth usage of sc2.. should be way sufficient if i take the 6gb package from maxis.. hehe

thanks again

Hey guys, is there a way to have both version installed on the same pc? I have the US version installed, but have also gotten a sea Cd key, but cant seem to log on even though i've activated my SEA version.

Is it okay to install 2 copies, even though it says things will be overwritten?

you should install both copy on separated folders since they use different config/settings

ahh yea i went ahead and did it.. asked to rewrite some stuff, but game still works fine on both region... stupid region locks..

nice, we got a confirmation now that multi installation/copy works then

guys how do you search for other people's profiles?

I know how to access my own profile page on sea.battle.net. it's obviously a 'public' page. let's say i 1v1 somebody and i want to look up his profile page on battle.net ... is that possible? click all over the place on battle.net also can't seem to find ...

Ok I'm not too sure about this but afaik there may be a link from the in game profile page of said player.on the web, so far I don't think there is a search interface yet.there is a workaround which is to find that guys battle net forum posts and view his profile from there.only problem is that if he's like me and never post on battle net then that would not be possible

oh wow just noticed zen updating on 2nd post too, good work man and thanks for doing it ^^
me/fuj/zen should some day get together and consolidate the FAQ as some are outdated/no longer needed and potentially redundant entries too.

anyways putting up a guide for SEA/USA dual installs:

1) acquire a copy of USA/SEA installation disc (or digital download)

2) Install one starcraft 2 region first. Then patch it up to the latest patch. log in with your account, just to make sure it works, and creates the profile/data folders.

3) now we begin the 2nd region installation of starcraft 2
do NOT have Starcraft 2 playing in the background (why would you anyways? it lags so bad during installation. unless of course you have RAID drives or SSDs heh)

4) Rename the following folders to add "USA" or "SEA" depending which version you installed first.
Example: if you installed USA first, rename the following folders to add "USA" at the back

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II

lets say i installed USA region first, after renaming they would look something like:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StarCraft II USA\
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II USA\
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II USA\

5) install the other region that you got. make sure you change the default installation path.
example:
lets say you installed USA first, now you're installing SEA
C:\Program Files\StarCraft II (is your default path)
C:\Program Files\StarCraft II SEA should be your changed installation path

6) patch and log in your other region using your other region account details. after logged in and profile/data folders created for them. You're set for dual login.

7) remember the previous renamed folders? now all you need to do is keep the following folders opened to swap easily without losing your profile cache/replays/screenshots/various data:
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents

so now i need to rename the current starcraft II after im done playing SEA to add SEA at the back of it. and ERASE USA from the back of the previous starcraft 2 folder.
Example after im done on SEA, and logging in back USA:
current-
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II
becomes-
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II SEA\
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II SEA\

while-
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II USA\
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II USA\
becomes back to-
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II
C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II

The idea is that whatever region you're currently playing = without renaming while the other, is renamed.

Goodluck and most importantly, have fun with your dual region prior to x-region/SEA -> USA xover. Do post here, or even pm me if you have further questions but please make sure you read the guide thoroughly prior to posting/pm'ing ^^

hi, can any1 tells me is there any CC in m'sia allow u to play SC2 without a original cd-key?

as i experience in taiwan, me n my fren juz need to register a same region b.net account online and we can use thier copy of sc2 to play, juz activate the account no charges needed, I juz wondering izit the same in m'sia.

(wanna play together wit my fren so badly, but too bad we're in different region)

any1 know bout this?

no,u have to get the original cd key,1 cd key 1 battlenet account

bro, I dont think we can do that...

hmm....m'sia's CC sux...

hi all..have questions here..let say i have install the sc2 game..then suddenly i have to format my pc...is the game still valid?

if you have already used ur CDkey to register your account, then you can use that account, in ANY sc2 installed machine. and yes you can install sc2 on as many manchine as many times you want. you may also refer the first page FAQ in the future thanks

hey.. has anyone experienced a slight stop jerk when starting any match?
I experience very low frame rates for the first 8-10 seconds of the game, then after that everything goes back to being smooth.

i think it's a processor thing. it happens to every match, even campaign.
see my specs in my sig. it runs everything smoothly on ultra, but like i said, the first 8 secs the game jerks non stop.

actually u can play without a b.net account in cc such as blitzone where they will use their account instead...
not ur account since the game cd-key is tied to their account n not urs...

@hydrogen, yeah i felt the jerk also but after few games...it's smooth already...

In the end I will still need to have 2 shortcuts... but all save/replays etc will be saved into 1 folder? which is:

C:\Users\Quazacolt\Documents\StarCraft II

am i right?

i cant play any multiplayer game because I cant freaking download the maps.. It stuck at 35+%. I looked up on the forum and found out that a lot of people are having the same problem. Why is Bliz doing this>?

then u and probably the rest that's affected are the few unlucky once. So far me and my frens have no problems playing on bnet. Moreover, I believe Blizzard is not directly maintaining the SEA servers. Probably wanna contact the SEA community for help or explaination.

2 short cut, "1" folder. whichever folder ur using at the moment would be without addition. while the other having SEA or USA added (the naming is up to you, i name it as such for obvious reasons: to identify them)
