The 2nd beta of StarCraft 2 is now over. Those who try to sign on will receive an error message, “You are trying to login using a client version not recognized by the Battle.net service.” Now we all have to wait til July 27th for the game to come out in stores so that we can start playing SC2 again!

Attention: The 2nd phase of StarCraft 2 Beta is now up! :D

Posted by dOoBiX on July 7th, 2010 at 1:39 pm

A new patch came out today for StarCraft 2 Beta, however we are still not able to log in to play.  There are no patch notes, but a couple of noticeable changes are (1) the interface of the auto-patcher is updated, and (2) the Galaxy Editor now requires you to be logged in to use it. Since the servers are down, you will not be able to log in to use the map editor. However, I do believe that the 2nd phase of the Beta will start sometime in the next 24 hours!

Update: Found the patch notes!

So how many of you still play StarCraft on Windows 7 with the colors all messed up? To be honest, this doesn’t really matter, because once you start a match, all the colors will be fine. The colors are only weird before, and after a match.

But, if you really want to fix this color problem manually, just follow the steps below:

  1. Start StarCraft
  2. Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager
  3. Find explorer.exe and click End Process
  4. Alt+Tab to get back into StarCraft

After you’re done playing StarCraft, you need to re-open explorer.exe:

  1. Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager
  2. Click File > New Task
  3. Type “explorer” and press enter

Now how was that? Wouldn’t it be better if there was a script to close and re-open explorer.exe for you? Well, guess what? You can make one! Here’s how:

  1. Open Notepad
  2. Copy and paste these 3 lines into Notepad:
    taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
    "C:\Program Files\StarCraft\starcraft.exe"
    start explorer.exe
  3. Make sure that 2nd line in Notepad is where your StarCraft is located, otherwise change it
  4. Click File > Save As, and name the file as ColorFix.cmd.

If you are having trouble creating the ColorFix.cmd file, you may download it below:

Now you can go enjoy your StarCraft with normal colors!

Hey! Like the new icyHell web design? I was tired of the old one, so I started to design a new layout. I didn’t want it to have so many different colors like the old one, and I wanted something more simple… well, here it is: icyHell version Simple! What do you guys think of this new design? Leave your thoughts in the comment section! Also, remember to sign up in the forums!
