So I loaded up SC2 on my Mac mini M1 running macOS 15.2 Sequoia last week and played some games to benchmark it. I went to play Sunday Jan 5th and now when I click on a map in Custom Melee and click Create Lobby it says Entering Lobby and never changes. Even letting it sit for 5 minutes. Still the same even today at different times. I tested this in the native Rosetta 2 client as well as using Crossover. Same issue. If I switch over to my PC then the game runs fine and I create melee games no problem. Nothing has changed on my Mac since I last played.
I went through all the relevant posts here, on Google, and on Reddit. Nothing works.
So far I have:
- Turned off Wifi making ethernet my only connection
- Quit and restarted the game multiple times
- Changed region to EU and Asia and changed back
- Did scan and repair, which found no issue and nothing changed
- Turned off AdGuard and quit that program
- Left chat lobby
- Reinstalled the game
- Deleted /Users/Shared/Blizzard/Starcraft II/Maps cache file
I’m at a loss. No idea why this isn’t working at all on my Mac anymore but working on my PC. Any other things I could try?
Edit: Solution found! I deleted my Starcraft II folder in /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Blizzard. I just deleted the whole Starcraft II folder and reloaded. This folder stores local game settings so my graphics settings reset and it showed the intro cinematic again. I created a game in Custom Melee and it took it a minute but it finally worked. I finished the match. Quit and reloaded and could start another match no problem.
