Troubleshooting FAQ
Whenever a unit is killed I lose!
Your mod file (SC1Mod) is in the wrong location, or simply doesn't activate for some reason. Follow the installation instructions and make sure it's in the correct folder. If the problem still persists, see "unable to launch map" below.
I get the error "unable to launch map"
This one's still not quite clear, apparently caused by the mod file getting corrupted during download. Try to download both the mod & maps using the links under "recent files". Also on the download page, make sure you click "Download" instead of the file name.
I get the briefing background at the start of a mission but nothing happens
We're looking into it. Try to wait for a few seconds after the map finishes loading before you press a button to start the map.
I'm getting a black screen at the start of a map, nothing happens
Certain images aren't showing, possibly a Mac problem? Try pressing a few buttons.
Kerrigan's Cloak isn't "researched"
It's recommended to always use the latest mod and map files.
The next map won't load when I click "continue campaign" /
I can't load my saves!
Your map files are in the wrong location. The correct path is Starcraft 2/Maps/Rebel Yell (installation directory)
Where is the starcfraft 2 install directory?? (to put the mod in)
Possible fix/info on problem of briefing not loading on the 2nd mission.
It wouldn't load, even with repeated tries, and waiting, and such, when I had my graphics on low settings (including static 2d portraits). Switching the graphics settings to High allowed me to load the briefing without any problems.
@jwizzie511: Go
to get to the install directory just right click and select open file location and find the mods folder and put your mod in there
@Drascus: Go
your sc1mod does not activate for some reason try to rename the file to SC1mod.SC2MOD
i do not have a mod folder. help please
ok so i click right on the starcraft 2 mod but i dont know where to go form there.. whee is the mod?@stasisdrone: Go
I solved the third problem (background but no breifing)
Now if the breifing fails to load properly (wich it always does) it will play regardless.
I can't start the game - after the loading screen I always get an error saying, that the mod-file does not exist
I've already downloaded it twice and it is in the mod-folder of my installation-directory
I had the 3rd problem, the "I get the briefing background at the start of a mission but nothing happens."
After restarting it, and waiting to click it, nothing would work.
I followed Drascus' advice and upped my graphics to the "High" setting and it loaded perfectly. No more problems.
Maybe the problem is something is in it trying to understand the Low graphics setting while loading?
Hello I am having a very large issue! Yestarday i installed the mod and everything worked perfectly. I could save, it wouldn't freeze and every mission worked without a flaw. I went to sleep, woke up decided to play a little more and as soon as i went into mission 8, I ended up screwing up so i tried to load the save I did on that mission, the load screen went around a quarter of the way and an error message came up saying "the mod data loaded does not match the mod data which was originally used to play this game". I didn't understand what happened? I didn't change a thing, i literally just went to sleep and came back and it's not working. I tried redownloading it, checked my folders to ensure everything was in the right place and still it does not work. Can anyone please help, I don't understand what happened, it was working perfectly yestarday, every load screen was perfect. Does anyone know what happened? Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem i really want to play the campagian.

Hello i am having a problem. I moved all folders and programs were i have to but for some reason i dont have music, voice of jim raynor and kerrigan. Also on mission 7 there is no conversation or objectives, i just start the mission. Do i must have the latest patch or something, because i just dont know what to do.
Thanks, and nice job
@JoroA: Go
I have the exact same problem.All the files are where they should be and still i have no voice for Raynor and Kerrigan plus some icons like "restoration" upgrade for medics are just white squares and units from starcraft 1 have missing models:Valkyrie is just big white ball flying around whit no voice sound. And mission 7 same problem too. My files are here: Local disc E/Games/Starcraft 2/Maps/Rebel Yell and the mod file- Local disc E/Games/Starcraft 2/Mods I set custom instal directory and not in Program files. Please tell me what to do and great job for this i like sc1 story more than sc2.
the next map wont load when i press continue campaign, and i have it in the correct spot. also i cant play the zerg campaign, because it says portraits wont load, or something along those lines in the initial briefing. if you could help it'd be much appreciated.
hi, i recently installed your mod and started the terran campaign. but fact is that in the Norad II Mission (i think it was the 6th in the original starcraft 1) when i get pass the sensor tower range (it is delimited by a white circle and it is placed near the Norad II Crashing Site) the games stuck there and starcraft 2 say to me that it has crashed. making me not able to rescue the units and by that i'm not able to finish the mission.
also, the mission named "Final Push" or something like that, had no clear objective it is prettty obvious that you have to move the "psi emitter" to the beacon into the confederate base but in fact when the SCV wich carry the psi emitter die, the game just continue with no defeat ' and by the way there is no text for helping the player known what are the objective of the mission.
so, for making it short here are somes things that you can look for the next update of the mod :
-no crash at the Norad II Mission or in Other Missions
-Add informative text at the Final Push Mission wich will clearly indicate what are the Victory condition and the Defeat Conditions
-Add a working Defeat Conditions for the final push mission (like, if the SCV carrying the psi emitter dies, you're defeated or somethings like that).
i'll post more comment when i will notice others stuff that need to be fixed.
I have all of the most recent mod and maps, but I still get the error "Unable to open map" whenever I try to open it. I have made sure they're all in the right locations, does anyone know what the problem is? It worked fine for me on my other computer
I just started playing the Terran campaign and I got to the mission where you meet up with Kerrigan. I reach the base that you take over and everything is working fine except there is no gas geyser. This meant that I couldn't get enough medivacs or wraiths out to bring an army across the water to the enemy base. I feel like the lack of gas resource is a miss.
On mission 8 there's a physics lab that can only be attacked with yamato cannon
I'm running SC2 on campaign only crack, which still has the mods and editors and stuff
But I'm getting a No Mapinfo error for the launcher and every map whenever i open it with editor
My mods and maps are in place so I'm still wondering what is wrong... maybe the crack?
I followed what the 2nd point of FAQ says, download from the link "recent files", clicked on "Download" button but I still have the error "unable to launch map".
I have italian game version 1.4.3, I tried both italian and updated english mod and maps but I got the same problem. What can I do?
