My HD crashed so I had to reinstall SC2. I used the official Blizzard downloader from my battle.net account, and it installed and updated to patch 15. However, there's no editor - it's just not there. I've checked the entire SC2 folder and it's nowhere to be found.
So, two part question - anyone had this issue when doing a fresh install, and is there a download mirror for just the editor somewhere?
edit: Just to show that I'm not an idiot looking in the wrong folder: http://imgur.com/Dbl9k.png
It's not in any of the subfolders either.
Are you positive you updated to patch 15? I reinstalled starcraft on my laptop and it kept looping patch 15. I couldn't figure out what to do and I didn't have the editor for a while. But I figured out that the only way to stop it from looping was to turn off my internet while it was patching.
Oh, what the hell. I guess they took their patch servers offline and that's why it says no patches?
The weird thing is, after the installation, the patch screen actually came up with the Patch 15 notes, and said Patch 15 finished and ready.
Anyone know if there's a patch mirror site somewhere?
e: Nvm, found patch mirrors, but I still can't install the patches. Is it even possible to update the game while their patch servers are down?
It looks like when the patcher runs after installation it's able to download the patch notes but not able to get the updated version info from battle.net. So it shows the up-to-date Patch 15 notes and says ready to play but doesn't actually patch. And even with the patch files in the Updates folder, without battle.net telling it what version is current it won't install them... I'm starting to think I'm shit out of luck until battle.net comes back online.
First of all hi to this great community, i'm new here and all the threads helped me out a lot in learning galaxy so far.
Anyway, i have the same problem as RileyStarcraft (only i reinstalled on purpose to the en_gb Version becourse of the editor, the german version of galaxy is just too freaking buggy with all the empty checkboxes, dropdowns and whatnot) but after the install it say'ed patch 15 complete ... play. But there is no Editor nor an update folder... Anyone got a hint for me? I was about to release a projekt in the next days for some early stage tests (as soon as i can think of a good name) but without an editor i won't :(
It doesn't seem to be possible to patch the game while battle.net is offline, sixen. Even if the patches are placed in the correct folder, the patcher won't actually install them unless it gets the version information from battle.net.
What's happening is when you install the game it goes to patch it and displays the patch notes from the latest version (which is just a web page that is still online.) However, the patcher itself can't connect to battle.net to get the latest version info, and so it assumes there's no patch. So you end up with a patcher that says you're ready to go with a big orange PLAY button and Patch 15 notes, but the game itself has not patched.
I've tried a bunch of things and short of emulating the response from the battle.net update server it does not seem to be possible to patch the game now. So those of us who had to reinstall it will just have to wait for the next phase of the beta.
It's already been done, that shouldn't be the case. Try shooting an e-mail to [email protected], they should be able to help you more. I haven't dealt with SC2 Tech Support since Patch 3 iirc, :|.
I patched it all in a row (worked perfect), Editor is here again, but the game itself crashes on startup. Well, Beta Part 2 will be starting soon, so i guess i'll wait till then... And also release is comeing near... Will do some terrain design in the meantime :(

If it's the same thing as me, patch up until 12.1, because manually installing patch 13 makes the game crash on startup.

ModeratorsGo to the Support folder, it should be in there.

It's not. Like I said, I checked every subfolder.
I also reinstalled 3 times, twice from the official installer and once from a torrent. No luck.
And yes, it's definitely patch 15. Build number 13891. If I run the updater it says no patch to download.

ModeratorsOh lawl, that's your problem. Build 13891 is Patch 0, it's the initial game version. You haven't installed any patches yet. Patch 16 is Build 15655.
@Sixen: Go

ModeratorsThat's odd. DLing the Patch mirror should work just fine too. All you need to do is put the patch files in the Updates folder.

ModeratorsHactar, there shouldn't be an Update folder, it's only there when patches are downloading/installing. Check in the Support folder for the Editor.

Jep, no update folder and NO editor in Support either (checked that before posting) so i'll have to try to stick with the beta support then...
@RileyStarcraft: I'll give you any information as soon as i get one. And yes it is exactly as you describe, ig lay button, but nothing behind it :(

ModeratorsGo to \Versions\, what's the last "Build
#" folder you have?For people having this problem. Visit http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=24702265260&sid=5000 and look at post 5. Manual Patching (Advanced).
Woot! thanks, that's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for and couldn't find.
e: Manual patching works up to 12.1, but every time I apply patch 13, the game crashes on startup.
