Starcraft Options Softlock and Battle.net Greyed Out (Solved)

I’m getting two errors when I try to play Starcraft Remastered on a fresh install.

One is when I try to play Battle.net, the option to hit “Ok” is greyed out. Pretty simple. Can’t play online.

The other, more problematic one, imo, is that if I hit Options or Hotkeys, the game freezes. With Options, a semi-transparent black overlay appears over the entire UI and it gets stuck in a perpetual load. If I hit Hotkeys, the entire UI disappears and the same occurs. In either case, I can no longer do anything in the game and must alt+f4 to shut it down.

If it matters, the update window on the right of startup is in a perpetual load too.

I want to play online and it’s not working. I figured I’d try to change the port as that’s a fix for Warcraft 3 remastered, but I can’t access options.

What do I do?

Edit: It was my anti-virus. Disabled it and it worked fine. Probably just need to whitelist it. Built in whitelist prompt didn’t work.
