To those getting the language pack issue (including the stuffed up logon UI where none of the buttons have text).

Dingobloo has found a post on the Battle.net forums here, the problem seems to stem from the locale in your My Documents\Starcraft II\Variables.txt file. The locale variables need to be enSG for the SEA client and not something else.

Code:

localeidassets=enSG
localeiddata=enSG

Or: enUS for NA client, zhTW for Taiwan client, koKR for Korean client

StarCraft II patch 1.5.0 is on the horizon and it’s bringing a number of changes to your StarCraft II Battle.net experience, including an entirely new custom game experience with Arcade, tons of new additions and improvements to the StarCraft II Editor, and streaming downloads to make patching even faster.

We’ll provide a more detailed guide about what’s in the patch, including the Arcade, soon. In the meantime, since all these big changes are coming, we wanted to provide a little guidance so everyone is prepared and able to get into the game quickly!

Getting the Patch
The patching process for patch 1.5.0 will be a bit different from previous StarCraft II patches, and will occur in two stages. First, to prepare your copy of StarCraft II to ‘migrate’ over to the new streaming version of the client, a small tools patch will need to be downloaded and applied.

Banelings will now auto-cast Unburrow if a Colossus comes within their attack range.
What the? Why? I presume they mean the bane's attack range? Would be really stupid if its the Collo's attack range, lol. Still dont get it. Unless it was a bug before where the banes wouldn't unburrow against a collo? In which case, they need to write more effectively.

It's written perfectly clearly. You can set the Baneling un-burrow to Auto-cast when enemy units walk over them. Previously the Colossus was classified as an air unit, so Banelings wouldn't behave as intended against them. It's fixed now.

Actually it's extremely ambiguous, hence why so many people asked for clarrifcation. 'Their' could refer to either unit. The auto-cast sentence COULD (although logically to experienced SC2 players, shouldn't) refer to the auto-cast now being opt-out rather than op-in, like it currently is. Obviously, yes, think about it for a second and you can probably assume that its a bug fix. However they should have written, 'a bug has been fixed whereby banelings were not auto-unburrowing against collosi'. I was simply making a point at the time. I have to deal with ambiguous sentences in technical documents all the time, and it drives me crazy that people can write like this and get paid for it.

You always could. Un-burrow doesn't NECESSARILY mean explode, you generally get a more cost efficient hit if you hit X yourself and time it right while they're still burrowed.

eCKo`Switch:

This - if it's just a few banelings, when set to autocast they unburrow miles away and die before they hit.

Also, the auto cast unburrows the banes at the first sign of enemies - rather than detonating it in the middle of the marine ball and getting maximum damage.

Not to mention you don't get to choose what you blow up on you could blow up on a bunch of tanks or thors. It's like lurkers compared with hold position lurkers, hold position lurkers could almost always be more effective in the hands of a pro even if not hold positioning them was easier.

Meatex · Sat, 28th-Jul-2012, 12:17 AM

the baneling thing is probably a bug to do with colossus being a ground unit that anti air can hit as well
auto unburrow has been around for ever and i used to use it in silver until i would, as dox said, lose so many banes for nothing :P

Im just ammused that they think so little of their customers that they have to write a guide on how to wait for the patch to finish. And publish ahead of time so everyone can have a chance to read and understand its complex implications

edit: after reconsidering some of the people on TL and bnet forums
yeah probably good idea to post it :s

Where'd you hear that? Good estimate either way.
One of the best things I saw on the beta was health bar colours above units were matched to the player's actual chosen colour. It's going to finally look less dull spectating with wacky yellow and teal bars all over the place

awesome! The patch doesn't really seem to affect gameplay all that much but I think I will prefer the battle.net interface they are going to introduce

To clear the record, auto unburrow when set to Auto (Right click) wasn't being triggered by Colossi (since they glide),

I get same problem as alberthr
tried repair tool and haven't even done anything funky to my files like modding menu screen or unit colours
patcher crashes to desktop every time
have had no issues downloading previous patches and have had no hardware or system software changes since properly downloading last patch.
looks like i may need to quit sc2. guess its on to guild wars 2 :S

EDIT**
Found a work around. if you go into sc2 install folder there will be a file called "sc2-x.x.x.x-1.5.0.22342-enUS-Downloader.exe"
Run that to download the patch. It may give you a bullshit error that it could not connect to tracker but it will download anyway for a bit as long as you don't click okay on the error.
Just keep running it and ignoring the error and you will download it eventually

I found the file, but I can't open it (Mac by the way...). I tried reinstalling and downloading the patch myself, but the Blizzard Updater keeps looping at 1.1.0.16561. Do you know how to solve the infinite loop problem?

**Maynarde** · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 3:53 PM

Enforce a little patience people, the ENTIRE client is being replaced and I'm positive that with the millions that play SC2, no one at Blizz HQ is twiddling their thumbs over the responses from the patching process.

Also read previous responses and collate constructive information. Give information and let us know when you've come up with a solution (which many have) in this thread. The people that I have seen in chatbox that have had issues basically fixed their problems by waiting and/or restarting the client a few times.

TL;DR = chill.

Saw that (you're in my division) was like WTF I'm not laddering today. The only thing I can think of is since the division has a number of recently demoted from masters people, and now instead of saying 0 my bonus pool is a negative amount. Maybe it deducts negative bonus pool from your next match like some sort of glitch.

Yea once i disabled my firewall (windows 7) for both private and public networks, the patch was able to download and I made some progress !

*EDIT: once i disabled the firewall the patch software downloaded and patched sc2 properly. I was able to login to SEA server with the patch done at 100% and all my problems are solved!!
I recommend anyone with a very similar problem try disabling firewall for the patch as well!

everything pretty smoot for me so far. I like that it now gives you the number of games played this season and career. so people complaining about not knowing your win/loss ratio will be happy. i like having that back, is cool. I dislike how my text is the same colour of everyone else nows in chats, makes me go cross eyed when i try and read them but ow well. havent tried to play anything yet, but my profile says im diamond which is interesting, cos my league is clearly gold :P. Still nice screenshot xD

Still pretty buggy in general with disconnects and being kicked from chats and what not. Will assume that will settle down soon enough when they learn how to fix it all.

Not really. Now you get total games played across all game modes combined, unless you only play 1v1 you're not gonna get your w/l ratio and even if you do only play 1v1 you still have to figure it out yourself instead of having it displayed.

hmmm yeah it does only say games played, didn't realise that was across all modes. that does still suck. Id prefer to have the data back, but i like numbers. I never got why we cared about people who got upset that their numbers weren't as high as they want them to be.

Im with you on this one.... those numbers made it even more competitive for me. Loved em. On a brighter note, my patch worked but have come across alot of bugs.

Yea even for my super fast internet it took like 30 mins to 1 hour, it seems to get stuck somewhere, but you should just leave it and check on its progress a while later, the progress seems to jump erratically

**nirvAnA** · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 11:04 PM

Gonna share my experience and hope it helps someone.

My updater was stuck at "updating set up files" but before i closed it, it looked like Jieun's picture too. i.e i started the dl before i went out and when i came back it was stuck at same place. Even tho it reached the playable stage each time i tried to open sc2 it will get stuck at updating set up files.

So i did a crt alt delete > task manager > and closed the blizzard agent updater. this forced it to refresh and when i opened sc2 again the patch starting downloading fine. i waited for the full download (1.32gb) before trying and it worked fine too.

i close via the applications or the processes? because i might go with this method if it doesn't change in the next hour or two.

crt alt delete > task manager > end process (for blizzard agent updater)

just do this method now, it will resume at the same place anyway so ure not losing anything.

Seffy · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 11:35 PM

if anyone gets stuck in the same situation as me, do what nirvana said to do. MAKE sure you end either blizzard launcher (if it stuck on patch server) or starcraft II (if green bar of irritation/death/torture/whatever you want to call it) under PROCESSES tab and click end process. if you do this in "end task" under "applications" it'll just mess it all up for you. i recommend that you be patient, cos this does take a few tries but it does work.

now on to new things and possibly not running into a problem with this patch ever again.

SanG · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 11:42 PM

Worst Patch Ever. Nothing that matters is changed, only completely unnecessary graphics / interface changes. I can't see any of the "interface convenience improvements" or clan supports or w/e they said they were gonna put in either

For what it's worth, my patch was fine. Couldn't log in at first, but that was simply server's not up yet.
Works well, haven't noticed any fps issues (only been trying on max settings so far) and whilst the interface is a bit of a change, it's actually pretty nice.

**syfChadMann** · Wed, 1st-Aug-2012, 12:59 AM

I have zero issues.. but I feel like the game is a bit clunkier or I have lower FPS now.. for some reason (I've even lowered the settings)..

This was noticed by Rossi, thought it was pretty cool thought it should be added to the thread:

Quote:

When orbital commands are in the same command group as planetary fortresses you do not need to press tab to build scvs on them.

Before if command group contained orbital commands and planetary fortresses only the orbital command would be ordered to make scvs. Terran players would need to press tab or select the planetary's separately to build scvs with them.

Hurray! There were times where i couldn't justify tabbing to the PF to make one extra SCV per round due to the increased attention it required. Good stuff Blizzard.

I'm such a noob that I didn't even know that the PF wasn't building SCVs when I played Terran lolol

RE: The custom games, received an e-mail from Blizzard ANZ asking me to share this around:

However, if our hotfix does not pan out, this issue can actually be worked around fairly easily, and should not really impact tournament play as long as we communicate to the tournament organizers on what to be aware of.

Basically, this issue ONLY happens when joining a game from the “Join Game” list in Custom Games, which most tournaments probably do not do:

The bug will NOT happen in any of the following situations:
- If you create a game from the “Create Game” screen above.
- If you bookmark a map, and create the game from your bookmark.

In addition, it’s worth noting that most of these maps probably have not been re-published yet so that they appear on the StarCraft side instead of the Arcade side. I just ran a quick check of the ESV maps and they all look like they’re still showing up on the Arcade side. And if creating a game from the Arcade side, the bug will NOT happen if they use the “Create Private Game” button:

So to summarize, in most cases tournaments should not encounter this issue if they create their game using the methods listed above. We are hoping that our hotfix should address the issue, but if we run into any issues then we should communicate the above info to any TOs that are running events over the weekend.”

Please communicate to tournament partners that are actively running events to use the “Create Private Game” button instead of Joining Game.

If your partners report any additional issues, please let us know ASAP.

**Dox** · Thu, 2nd-Aug-2012, 1:22 PM

And for what it's worth, during lastnights GGA Cup I didn't experience any issues with any of the Custom Games I hosted using this method.

FSBenAD · Thu, 2nd-Aug-2012, 1:30 PM

Thanks for that Dox

**Dingobloo** · Thu, 2nd-Aug-2012, 1:54 PM

ESV has made a conscious decision to keep their maps on the Arcade side due to the extra features like screenshots and patch notes that the Starcraft custom maps do not get access to:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/view...opic_id=357586

While I understand it and hope at least some of the features could be used on both types of maps, it also kind of sucks having melee maps pop up in Arcade Fun or Not or in the Open Arcade Games list.

After they patched KR to 1.5
I'm having the language pack problem whenever I try to login to my TW/KR client to play. And I can't change the "enSG" thingy. Anyone found any solution to play on their TW/KR client yet?

For those who want the old low graphics back, set

pretty sure this won't improve performance though and it looks worse

Fate · Thu, 2nd-Aug-2012, 4:43 PM

I asked around the friendly sc2sea community and Maynarde and Paperclip immediately gave me the solution.

You need to change the my documents > starcraft II > variables.txt > these 2 lines

localeidassets=enSG
localeiddata=enSG

change it according to which client you are playing:
SEA server = enSG
TW server = zhTW
KR server = koKR

Hope this helps!

Tazerenix has come with a 1.5 Relocalizer solution which R1CH and raVensc2 from TL has re-made into an automated version:

I'd say R1CH's is probably the best.

There were three automated ones released, all of them use the process xpaperclip found, its just they automate it.

mGGDaedalus · Fri, 3rd-Aug-2012, 7:35 PM

R1ch's one looks really good, you can use the one client for all servers. I'm yet to test it though, will do that tonight.

yeah the relocalizers are pretty bad zzzz i use big foot too so i hope after the CN patch comes out they will actually make the new version of bigfoot sc2 so that it will be a lot more easier for me to change servers

ToRMaverick · Sat, 4th-Aug-2012, 1:05 PM

I have been one of the lucky ones by the sounds of it as the patch worked no probs and could play from day 1. However, as of today it has been randomly kicking me out of the game (cant find internet connection)... which isnt the case. Also chat boxes are again closing all the time.... annoying. Just plain annoying. A patch this size that when to beta should have the fundamentals sorted out before release. Sure no patch will be 100% but this is just a joke.

I really pity the people who have had to go through hell and back to get the patch going... if you could.

TAHawkeye · Sat, 4th-Aug-2012, 1:52 PM

Yeah hawkeye i heard some of the vietnamese in pro gamer team also has this issue u not sure whats the reason though hope u solve this soon

TT, my korea is still not working

TAHawkeye · Sat, 4th-Aug-2012, 9:08 PM

Looks like the issue is that the na client doesnt have the ability to switch to sea (no button bottom left) but the sea client does
not sure if thats the same for the korean ones
