Unfortunately, the starcraft 2 beta went offline on 06/08/2010. Unfortunately, the second part of the starcraft 2 beta went offline on 07/20/2010. Only one more week until release! Nevertheless, many people still want their good old starcraft 2 match. What to do now, that the servers are offline? To keep yourself trained, you need an offline mode. With the following patch, you will be able to play the beta offline against the computer, on easy, middle, hard and insane! By the way, the A.I. really plays well, i learned that myself the hard way! I recently added to AI's, the 'Green Tea AI' and the 'Dark Tea AI'. Try those out! They are quite tricky!
This comes as an aid to players worldwide that did not get the chance to play the latest Starcraft 2 beta versions due to launcher failures and god knows what other problems. What I can say for certain is that this will change tonight. The solution to your entire problem has been found, thanks to great communities like Nibbits. No more downtime from now guys.

This launcher has been tested on the Starcraft 2 patch 15 patch 17, that brings your game to the 0.17.0.15623 0.20.0.16036 version and it works like a wonder. Let’s explain a bit what does this Starcraft 2 Single player launcher has to offer. With it, you can play the Starcraft 2 beta or watch replays without any beta keys. It does not interfere with the game itself, letting you update from the official website. Also, the launcher has a nice user interface that lets you change the races, the colors, the starting position, the maps and also the AI difficulty. All of these are included in the download link below, besides the official 22 blizzard maps and the A.I. .Also, 3 cool skins are available, each for one race.

Extract the launcher to C:\[path-to-sc2]\Starcraft II Beta\SC2ALLin1

Konfigure the file SC2ALLin1.exe and grant it administrator privileges

in case you don't have Windows 7, you probably need this file.

Make sure you have the 'Verdana' Font installed. To check whether the font is installed, you can look at C:\Windows\Fonts. If not, install the font. Otherwise, the program will crash.

In case you don't have any maps, download the maps pack. It contains all 22 official Blizzard maps that were also used in the Beta. Save the files f.e. in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps
