Hey, kylestarr! For the “StarCraft II quit unexpectedly” error, this is a known issue and the following steps should help with this error.

  1. On Mac Apple menu, go to System Preferences/Sharing
  2. Change Computer Name to something different.
  3. Click on Edit and then Okay.
  4. Close Preferences window.
  5. Test game again.

Let us know if the error persists after the computer rename!

I had the same issue and this fixed it. What a pain in the butt.
