Hey, ForReal! This sounds like an issue that we’ve recently seen re-emerge. Could you see if the workarounds on this post helps with the issue?

• Launch the game in Offline Mode.
• Disable the internet connection and then launch the game. This should allow it to start normally. Once its loaded, reconnect to the internet and login.
• Wait several minutes to load into the game (around 15 minutes or so).

We’ve requested information for the situation recently here, if you wanted to include these details!

1. disable internet
2. launch in Starcraft2/support64/sc2switcher
3. re-enable internet and login

But even that is too annoying… Wait 15 minutes, what the hell ? I am saying this to report bug as well…
