I was playing very well on my macbook air with mac os sonoma but when i upgraded to the latest version of mac os sequoia version 15.1 the problem started. I try to connect in-game to batle net starcraft remastered and i can’t connect.
Please help!
Same issue. I have tried renewing IP, flushing DNS, forgetting network, reboots, etc. Seems to be a Mac-specific issue Battlenet side as I see friends and others seem to not have any issues.
Any thoughts, Blizzard?
I am having the same issue, after updating MacBook latest version OS, I can’t connect
Until a fix comes, as a solution, if you’re using an Intel Mac, you can use Boot Camp for free to run Windows and install Starcraft:

If it’s not an Intel Mac, then you can use Parallels to run Windows and install Starcraft, although Parallels is paid:

Parallels has a 14 days trial version though:

These two above are supposed to run Windows the fastest. But you can also use VirtualBox (free):

or
VMware Fusion PRO (became free this year):

This post said that UTM comes second to Parallels when it comes to run Windows the fastest:

If Starcraft is running choppy, try installing an older version of the software (if possible) that you run Windows in, maybe there’s a chance it will run faster.
Also, here you can download Microsoft official Windows images:

Check their SHA-256 or SHA-512 checksum to make sure they are legit, don’t trust me. Make sure to read the full page.
Don’t use MD5 checksum for checking, as it’s not reliable.
The Windows images come as a trial, I think for 30 days or so, but even if the trial expires, you can still use it, although you won’t get Windows updates and some features will not work anymore. If it was me, I’d go for Windows 10, as it’s less resource intensive, or maybe even Windows 7 (as it’s way less resource intensive than W10), if Starcraft still runs on it.
Make sure to run SC in Windowed (Fullscreen) for best performance.
My solution: delete and reinstall batle net and starcraft.
